To build on prior GCSE knowledge in Biology and to understand and explore biological molecules, cells, exchange between organisms and the environment, genetic information, variation and the relationships between organisms. To develop problem solving and practical skills including mathematical skills and to develop inquisitive and independent learners. Biology is the scientific study of life. It is a broad subject and covers the many elements of life from molecules to animal behaviour and from DNA technology to human disease. Biology offers students the opportunity to undertake cutting-edge biological practical work. We have invested in up-to-date equipment and we can carry out DNA fingerprinting, PCR and micro-scale enzyme practical work. - Medicine - Dentistry - Zoology - Veterinary Science - Genetics - Biochemistry - Pharmacy - Environmental and Sports Sciences
Students need to obtain 3 GCSE's at Grade 6 in chosen subjects and 2 GCSE's at Grade 5.
There will be 3 formal Key Assessments in Y12. Each will be a test of all of the content you have covered up to that point in time. You will be given the chapters from the textbook that you need to use 2-3 weeks prior to the assessment. You should also use your SIS to help you to prepare and revision material available on Brightspace. You will be expected to revise independently outside of lesson time.
