Chemistry

Chemistry flourishes at Fettes, with one of the largest take up rates of all optional IGCSE, IB and A level subjects.

Where do we live?
Chemistry is housed in a suite of four laboratories within the purpose-built science block and we have a large stake in the science department's, modern, Sixth Form science resource room which gives pupils a pleasant environment in which to work, research scientific careers and university courses, watch videos or use our comprehensive range of software.

Who are we?
The Chemistry staff are a well-qualified and experienced group of teachers. We believe in attending conferences and training sessions as regularly as possible to ensure that our ideas stay fresh. We are committed to taking a modern approach to teaching the subject, and make as wide a use of ICT facilities as possible. The department has recently undergone heavy investment in this area.
