Biology

Course summary

A-Level Biology aims to expand your knowledge and explore in further depth topics that were covered in the GCSE course. You will develop your understanding of the detailed structure of cells and the biological molecules that constitute all life; you will gain a better understanding of evolution and biodiversity and the interactions of humans with the environment; you will learn more about the physiology and anatomy of the human body and you will build on your knowledge of genetics and biotechnology and how these are being used to aid humans and understand the underlying causes of variation between living organisms. In Year 13 we will also attend a residential field trip to gain a fuller understanding of field work techniques and ecological studies.
