A level Biology provides a fascinating introduction to many aspects of this modern science. It is designed and taught to stimulate the pupils and create a lifelong interest in the subject. Practical work is undertaken throughout the course, and pupils also participate in a residential field trip. If a candidate completes this satisfactorily, their A level certificate will be endorsed with a ‘Pass’.
Any pupil wishing to study Biology at A level is expected to have achieved at least a grade 7 in both Biology and Mathematics at GCSE. Biology is a very adaptable A level and works well with most other subjects. Pupils with an interest in the latest genetic procedures as well as the more traditional physiology aspects of the subject are well catered for by the course we follow.
Candidates are assessed with three written papers. Paper 1: Topics 1-4 2 hours (35%) Paper 2: Topics 5-8 2 hours (35%) Paper 3: Topics 1-8 and practical skills 2 hours (30%)
