Biology

Assessment

Assessment is by terminal examination at the end of Upper Sixth. There are three papers consisting of a mixture of multiple choice, short open, open response, calculations and extended writing questions. Practical skills are assessed internally, before being externally moderated to lead to a Practical Endorsement in Biology which is reported separately to the GCE Biology Grade. All A Level Biology students will be expected to attend a field course in the Summer Term of the Lower Sixth.
