Studying Biology helps to satisfy one’s natural curiosity for the human body and the natural world. Biology plays an ever increasing and relevant part in a wide range of agricultural, environmental, medical and industrial problems. A-Level Biology covers a wide array of topics, ranging from global ecological and environmental issues to anatomy and physiology. Students are encouraged to relate what they are taught to current biological issues and also to the other sciences. Biology is taught in a well-equipped laboratory and a large proportion of the course is taught through experimental work. ICT is used widely for tasks such as data-logging and analysis. The department encourages fieldwork, visiting various ecosystems as well as utilising the natural environment of North Bridge House Canonbury and the local surroundings.
Pupils should have achieved five subjects at Grade 6 or above, including either Maths and/or English at Grade 6. They should also have reached a minimum Grade 6 in the subject they want to study at A level. All students wishing to join the Sixth Form should be registered by the Autumn Term before the proposed year of entry.
