Biology

Entry Requirements

Sixth Form candidates are expected to achieve strong GCSE grades across the board. As a minimum, pupils should gain a 7 or above at GCSE in the subjects (or relevant subjects) they hope to study at A Level or at Higher Level within the IB. Particularly at A Level, that requirement moves up to an 8 for either Maths or any of the three traditional Sciences. Entry requirements for pupils wishing to study A Level Biology are 8-8 in the GCSE Science Double Award or an 8 in GCSE Biology. It is worth noting that Mathematics makes up 10% of the marks in the final exams so proficiency in that subject is also strongly advised (grade 7).
