Biology is the science of life and lies at the heart of major social problems that face the human race. As such, it is a subject of interest to everyone, whether they pursue it as a career or not. It is also the fastest developing science; as we venture further into the 21st century. our body of biological knowledge is expanding at a rapid pace. Studying Biology teaches us to ask questions, make observations, evaluate evidence and solve problems. The wide range of skills acquired during the study of Biology in the Sixth Form, including logical thinking, critical evaluation and data analysis is valued by both university admissions tutors and employers alike. Aside from continuing into directly biologically related subjects or careers, studying A Level or IB Biology is excellent preparation for studying any scientific subject at university and a wide range of scientific and non-scientific careers.
Our standard Sixth Form offer for A levels or IB is a total of 62 GCSE points from nine subjects, which is calculated by adding up all grades 6, 7, 8 and 9. (The minimum therefore is eight grade 7's and one grade 6, or equivalent.) For students who have taken GCSE Dual Award Science, a double Grade 8 is required overall, including a Grade 8 in the relevant Science component of this course, and a grade 7 in Mathematics to continue the study of Chemistry, Physics or Biology in the Sixth Form, both on the A Level and IB routes. Grade 7 + Grade 7 in Maths
