Biology A Level gives access to the large range of Biology and Biology-related university courses as well as providing an essential qualification for most Medicine and Veterinary Science courses. Biology also provides a worthwhile academic qualification for students who have an interest in the subject but who do not intend to take the subject beyond A Level. The new Biology A (OCR) course is content led. It provides a flexible approach for us to provide the most relevant, exciting and up-to-date contexts in which you can learn Biology.
Minimum GCSE Grade 6 for Double Award Science/Biology. As 10% of the course has mathematical content, Grade 7 at GCSE Maths is recommended to study this subject.
10% of the total A Level marks require the use of Level 2 (Higher tier GCSE) mathematical skills. There will be no internal assessment that leads to marks that contribute towards the A Level grades. Practical work will be assessed in the written papers. We have excellent equipment at King’s Ely in the department for carrying out the required practical work and at the end of Year 12 we have a field trip to the North Norfolk Coast in order to develop key sampling for Module 6.
