We follow the Edexcel Biology B Specification which aims to enable students to develop: • Essential knowledge and understanding of different areas of the subject and how they relate to each other and demonstrate a deep appreciation of the skills, knowledge and understanding of scientific methods • Competence and confidence in a variety of practical, mathematical and problem-solving skills • Their interest in and enthusiasm for the subject, including developing an interest in further study and careers associated with the subject • An understanding of how society makes decisions about scientific issues and how the sciences contribute to the success of the economy and society.
The basic entry requirement onto most courses is a minimum of a grade 6 at GCSE in an appropriate subject, however those students who embark on A Level studies with a grade 7 or above are likely to find the transition much easier. In some cases there may be further restrictions e.g. a minimum of a grade 6 in Maths to do Physics. Please see the following individual subject pages for further details. Students must also have achieved at least a grade 4 in both Maths and either English Language or Literature to qualify for entry into the Sixth Form. It is a requirement that students wishing to study Biology in the Sixth Form have achieved at least a grade 6 in Biology at GCSE or grades 66 in Dual Award.
