We are one of the largest departments at the Grammar School and pride ourselves on our examination support, giving the best possible chance of success. Biologists attend a residential Field Course in the summer months to enhance their learning and we offer a wide range of enrichment activities as well as a variety of clubs. We also provide leadership opportunities, trips and regional essay competitions as well as a schedule of visiting speakers. The course provides applicants to Higher Education with a multiplicity of degree choices in both biological and non-biological areas. While the department has a major tradition of preparing candidates for the medical professions, with support sessions and events such as interview evenings, many pupils have used Biology to complement quite different subjects.
To maximise success at A Level we recommend: • A sum of at least 30 points from the top five GCSE grades • Grade 5 in GCSE English • Grade 5 in GCSE Mathematics • Grade 7* in the subjects to be studied at A Level All applications to subjects will be considered. Students are encouraged to speak with the Head of Department, Deputy Head Academic, or Sixth Form Academic Coordinator who can advise further on suitability to the A Level course. *Grade 8 for Further Mathematics.
