Biology is the most rapidly evolving of all the sciences, and the last 10 years have brought huge advances in our understanding and use of gene technology, the combating of many diseases, and protection of the environment. You will look in detail at biological molecules, gene technology and the genetic code, alongside the physiology of plants and animals, with a particular emphasis on the human organism. In addition you will study genetics (including breeding experiments with fruit flies), and ecology. During the A Level year, you will be introduced to forensic science and have to solve your own crime scene using genetic fingerprinting techniques.
We are delighted that you are considering Halliford Sixth Form. Entry into Sixth Form is based on an interview, a satisfactory report from the previous school, and a minimum of 5 GCSEs at Grade 5 or above including English and Mathematics. It is a requirement that students achieve at least a Grade 6 at GCSE in the subjects that they wish to study at A Level.
A Level examination: Three 2 hour papers. No coursework element although there is a small internal assessment of practical skills
