Biology

Course summary

The A Level Biology course offers a detailed grounding in Biology, supported by fun, practical activities and trips. Scientific skills of formulating hypotheses, designing experiments, obtaining and recording reliable quantitative data, and analysing and evaluating results are all developed and assessed within the course. The Biology Department also offers two residential trips to complement the A Level classroom teaching. Biennially the Department travels to Cuba for two weeks in July to participate in a marine conservation study. During the Summer Term of the Lower Sixth, the Department spends four days studying a local ecological habitat.
