Biology is an important science today as the biotechnology revolution is opening a whole new world of discovery and opportunity for young scientists. It is also relevant to many social science subjects such as Geography and Sociology. Students taking a science course should seriously consider Biology as one of their options. Biology offers valuable training in investigative, analytical and critical skills, as well as other skills such as communication, working, teamwork, problem solving, mathematical; learning and performance skills, which are essential in a very wide range of professions.
An interest in, and a desire to study, Biology is essential. Students who are willing to spend time studying on their own will do very well and will enjoy the course. We aim to instil a deep interest in the subject, which can be maintained in courses of further education and beyond. GCSE or equivalent IELTS 5.5 or equivalent
Formal internal assessments take place regularly about once every half term and homework is set on a regular basis. Grades are determined by final examinations, which take place in May/June at the end of the 2-year course. Practical work is assessed within the school for the practical endorsement, which is a pass or fail. An end of year exam must be passed for entry to year 2 and a mock exam must be passed for entry into the public exams.
