Biology

Course summary

Biology is an important subject for providing the grounding often needed to proceed into A’ Level study and beyond. Biology is often studied alongside non-science subjects such as Business/Economics where there is a need for scientific rigour as well as the ability to clearly communicate findings and conclusions. An A’ Level qualification in Biology is essential for all biology and life science courses as well as related subjects including psychology, nursing, medicine and veterinary degrees. The AQA courses we offer at A’ Level and GCSE cover a wide range of topics from cells, DNA and human physiology, to photosynthesis. To support the theory and to encourage pupils to think like practical biologists, a wide range of work takes place not only in the laboratories, but also in the school grounds and further afield locally, allowing pupils to leave us with a wide range of experimental know-how and field experience.
