Sixth Form classes are small, so there is plenty of time for individual question/answer sessions and clarification of topic material. Each class has two teachers who will cover different topics. Pupils will spend about a quarter to a third of their time on practical work. Other class and homework time (approximately four hours per week in Lower Sixth and five hours per week in Upper Sixth) may be spent reinforcing knowledge and understanding of the topics studied. The course follows OCR’s AS and A Level Biology A specifications which cover both animal and plant topics.
A Minimum of 6 GCSEs at Grade 5 or above to include English and Mathematics. At least a Grade 6 is obtained in the subjects the student would like to study in the Sixth Form. International students will be asked to sit a test in English and Mathematics.
For the assessment of the final A Level grade there are three written papers: two 2 hours and 15 minutes and a third of 1 hour 30 minutes.
