How many times do you hear references to a biological topic on the news? Which other subject gives you the chance to find out more about what keeps us alive and the importance of other animals and the environment around us? Biology comprises a broad range of disciplines encompassing the study of life from the molecular level, through cells, tissues and organisms, to populations and ecosystems. Advances in the Biological Sciences have direct relevance to our everyday lives, for example, new medical treatments, the protection of endangered species and the development of new food products. These breakthroughs have improved the quality of life for millions of people and led to a greater understanding of our impact on the environment, as well as the need for better resource management and conservation. Biology is of interest to anyone wanting to understand more about the way these issues will affect their lives. Studying Biology at Mayfield will enable you to learn about many aspects of the Biological Sciences in an interesting, informative and intellectually stimulating way. You will build on your biological knowledge gained at GCSE as you study topics as diverse as genetically engineered ‘glow in the dark’ pigs for stem cell research to conservation on the Galapagos Islands. Our experienced teachers will work with you to ensure you have the very best opportunity to achieve your potential through guided and independent learning. Regardless of your chosen career, you will gain invaluable skills which will be transferable to any career.
At least Grade 7 in GCSE Biology or 7-7 in Trilogy Science. You should be enthusiastic about the subject, have an inquiring mind, an eye for detail, good literacy and good mathematical skills.
There is no coursework component to the course; practical skills are assessed throughout Year 12 and Year 13, resulting in a PASS or FAIL.
