Learn about unifying patterns and themes in biology and use them in new and changing situations • acquire knowledge and understanding of biological facts, terminology, concepts, principles and practical techniques • apply the principles and concepts of biology, including those related to the applications of biology, to different contexts • evaluate biological information, making judgements on the basis of this information • appreciate the practical nature of biology, developing experimental and investigative skills based on correct and safe laboratory techniques • analyse, interpret and evaluate data and experimental methods, drawing conclusions that are consistent with evidence from experimental activities and suggesting possible improvements and further investigations • recognise the importance of accurate experimental work and reporting scientific methods in biology • select, organise and present relevant information clearly and logically using appropriate vocabulary, definitions and conventions • develop a logical approach to problem solving in a wider context • select and apply appropriate areas of mathematics relevant to biology as set out under each topic • prepare for more advanced courses in biology and for other courses that require knowledge of biology.
To join our Sixth Form we ask for nine GCSEs including Mathematics and English, with a minimum Grade 7 in the subjects that you wish to study, or in a related subject where the proposed course is in a new subject.
The first round assessment is a 90-minute, bespoke computer based test. The exam includes verbal and non-verbal reasoning, English and maths questions. The assessment will take place on the school premises. Pupils who are successful in round one are called back for interview. Applicants are not required to bring books, projects or other work with them to interview. We ask one or both of an applicant’s parents or guardians to attend at this time.
