Biology is fundamentally an experimental subject. There are opportunities to use practical experiences that link to topics such as biological molecules, cells and microscopy, immunity, respiratory, cardiovascular and digestive systems, the biochemistry of photosynthesis and respiration, genetics, inheritance, biodiversity and evolution.
A minimum of grade 6 in GCSE Biology or Combined Science. A strong pass in GCSE Maths is recommended. Offers of places are made by the Headmaster and are usually conditional upon the candidate achieving at least 6 subjects at GCSE at Grade 6 or above. Candidates must obtain a GCSE Grade 6 or above in English Language and Mathematics. Candidates will normally be expected to have achieved at least a Grade 7 in the subjects they wish to study at A-Level, and the offer of a place is made subject to the School’s judgement of a candidate’s ability to benefit from the education offered in the Sixth Form.
