At The Maynard School we offer Salters’ Nuffield A-level Biology (SNAB) from Edexcel. The specification has been divided into eight topics. The course has been designed to show how an understanding of many contemporary issues requires a grasp of fundamental biological ideas.
If we are then able to offer a place, please note that this is conditional upon your daughter reaching the minimum entry requirements for entry into our Sixth Form, namely: • at least six grade 7’s • a minimum of a grade 7 in both Maths and English GCSE • a grade 7 or 8 in the subjects to be taken at A-level Students will always be considered on their individual merits. The qualification builds on the knowledge, understanding and practical skills that you gained in GCSE Biology or in GCSE Combined Science. You should have at least a grade 7 in GCSE Biology (or 7:7 grades in Combined Science). You should have at least a grade 6 in GCSE Mathematics, as numerical and mathematical skills are important in Biology and form 10% of the assessment, and at least a grade 7 in English Language as you will need to be able to communicate effectively. In this course, you will learn to plan and carry out research and to think critically about problems.
