What the college says

Chemistry is called the central science because all scientists study chemicals at some level. Biochemists and pharmacologists study chemicals that cause and cure diseases. Geologists examine the way chemicals come together to form rocks. Astronomers study the chemical compositions of stars, planets and galaxies. Geneticists study the molecular origins of inheritance. There are two kinds of chemist: the pragmatic chemist who wants to solve problems to make the world a better place, and the theoretical chemist who wants to deepen their understanding of the material world they live in. At Stroud High we have written a bespoke curriculum to cater for both.
