We study the comparative physiology of a wide range of organisms from single celled Amoeba through flatworms and annelids to insects, fish, mammals and flowering plants. An understanding of the variety of systems used for gaseous exchange, nutrition and transport within these groups enables us to have a better appreciation of the evolution of terrestrial organisms from their aquatic ancestors. An investigation into the biodiversity of an ecosystem and the need to classify organisms, bio, microbiology, genetics, genetic engineering, homeostasis and Man’s impact on the environment are all discussed. Students keep abreast of new developments and consider benefits, hazards and ethical implications of scientific advances.
Each year, we are delighted to welcome new students into our Sixth Form. All prospective Sixth Form students from other schools can enjoy a taster day at Stafford Grammar School and have an interview with the Head of Sixth Form. Offers of entry into the Sixth Form are then conditional upon GCSE results. A place in the Sixth Form is conditional upon students gaining at least 5 GCSEs at grade 4 or equivalent, including at least a grade 4 in Mathematics and English Language. Often there will be a requirement of the minimum of a grade 6 or equivalent for those subjects that the student wishes to study at AS level. For AS Mathematics, students must have followed the Higher Tier course and gained at least a grade 7 or equivalent. Any offer is also conditional upon a successful application including an interview and a satisfactory reference from the student’s current school. Almost everyone in the Lower Sixth Form studies four AS levels and the majority go on to study three A-level courses. Some students do continue with four A-levels, but this is dependent on academic and career aims.
