Biology is the branch of science concerned with the study of living organisms. Within Biology are different and diverse fields of study, for example: biochemistry, cell biology, ecology, anatomy, physiology, botany, microbiology and genetics. Biology is for students who are curious about the complexities of all living organisms; from single-celled species to more complex multicellular plants and animals. They enjoy developing a detailed knowledge of the many diverse areas of biology and enjoy finding links between topic areas. Successful Biology candidates have a proactive and independent approach to study to ensure their knowledge is complete. They remember and act upon advice given to develop their understanding of the course content and how to approach a variety of examination question styles. Practical work is an integral part of the course that develops laboratory skills using various apparatus and techniques.
A typical academic profile of a girl entering Year 12 is 10 GCSEs, with the majority in grades 7 to 9. These must include English and Mathematics at Grade 6 or above AND at least a Grade 7 in those subjects you wish to study at A Level (Grade 9 in Mathematics to study Further Mathematics). At least Grade 7 in IGCSE or GCSE Biology or 77 in Double Award Science.
Paper 1: Molecules, cells, biodiversity, exchange and transport (35%). Paper 2: Energy transfer, genetics, populations, response to stimuli (35%). Paper 3: All content, all practical techniques and an essay (30%). At least 15% of the marks will examine practical techniques and 10% of the marks will examine mathematical skills (Higher tier GCSE standard).
