All offers are then subject to candidates achieving a minimum of seven GCSE Grades 9 - 4 (or equivalent), together with appropriate facilitating grades in subjects related to their choice of A level subjects (see 6th Form prospectus for more information). The minimum entry requirements are a 7 grade (or high 6) in Biology GCSE or grades 7-7 in Dual Award Science. It’s important that you are confident in Chemistry and Maths; 6 grades in both these subjects at GCSE are required.
Practical competency is assessed through the whole course and there are three two hour exam papers at the end of Year 13. In Year 13 you will undertake a Field Trip to Pembrokeshire over the first weekend of the Michaelmas Term half term. While this is not absolutely compulsory, it is strongly recommended students attend. They gain a flavour of university style education and cover most of the ecosystems and statistics as outlined on the syllabus. There is a cost to this trip. We also take our Sixth Form Biologists to Studland Nature Reserve in Dorset, The Edward Jenner Museum in Gloucestershire, and to ‘We The Curious’ in Bristol so they can analyse (in part!) their own genome.
