Biology

Course summary

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.
