Becoming a Chemistry Teacher

Hi all. I’m currently a year 13 student studying Chem, Bio and Physics A Levels. I was wondering if I would be able to apply to a QTS Course, with the aim of becoming a Chemistry Teacher at KS3 and KS4 level (Secondary School) with a 2:2 degree or higher in BSc Forensic Science should I achieve it. I would be more than happy to undergo some additional training after my undergrad to meet the knowledge requirements

One example - Chemistry (PGCE) - Postgraduate taught, University of York - "2:2 or equivalent in Chemistry or a related subject such as Biochemistry. We also accept combined honours degrees where Chemistry (or a related subject) makes up at least 50% of the award."

If it isn't clear from the entry requirements on the website, just email their postgrad admissions and ask.
