A Level Biology gives you a unique opportunity to develop biological knowledge and understanding across many areas. The first year is designed to build your understanding of foundation concepts, such as biological molecules, enzymes, exchange surfaces, transport in plants and animals, biodiversity, evolution and communicable diseases. Year 2 enables the application of these foundation concepts to genetics, ecosystems, and communication in plants and animals. The course will help to develop practical and analytical skills, including fieldwork, and you work towards a practical skills endorsement that is awarded alongside your final A Level grade. The course will complement studies in other A Level subjects such as Chemistry, Physics, Maths, Physical Education and Geography.
Entry to Sixth Form is by application and is dependent on the candidate achieving the minimum academic requirement of five GCSE grades at C or above (at least three at Grade B or above). A grade 7 or above in mathematics is required at GCSE to study this A level subject (reviewed on a case-by-case basis), and the requirement that you have completed Higher maths at GCSE.
