Biology

Course summary

The Biology Department aims to inspire students’ wonder in and appreciation of this exciting and dynamic subject. Biology’s wide-ranging applications in healthcare, the environment and technology have the potential to change the world we live in dramatically. Biology is a trendy A-level subject at LEH. We seek to equip our Sixth Form students with the understanding, skills and enthusiasm to pursue a future in the Biological Sciences, exploring ideas and current research well beyond the A-level syllabus (Edexcel B). There is plenty on offer to enrich students’ understanding: weekly PandA (Physiology & Anatomy) Dissection club, a lecture day, a visit to the Wellcome Sanger Genome Campus and our annual Brain Day with Dr Guy Sutton. We also run ‘Biology+’, a lunchtime session designed to support students who wish to pursue the Biological Sciences at the University.
