Biology

Course summary

The primary purpose of A-levels is to prepare pupils for degree-level study. All pupils should have access to qualifications that are highly respected and valued by leading universities. We believe that the Edexcel Salters Nuffield approach (syllabus A) is demanding, rigorous, inclusive and empowering through the promotion and development of transferable skills. We will enable the pupils to develop an accurate knowledge and understanding of the major concepts in Biology as well as the skills needed to use these in new situations. The subject requires an inquisitive and adaptable mind, and pupils must have the motivation to read widely in the scientific texts and journals to broaden their knowledge as new work is being produced all the time.
