Biology is a fascinating subject that covers a broad range of topics focused on the natural world and the living things within it. Through studying Biology you will gain an in depth knowledge of the biological world, and develop an understanding of scientific methods. You will also build up skills in research, problem-solving, observation, and analytical skills. Gaining an A Level in Biology opens up a vast range of opportunities for both university degrees and career options.
Our usual entry requirement is a GCSE Level 7 or higher in the subject that you wish to study coupled with a raft of GCSE Level 6 and above results. If you wish to study Biology, Chemistry, Physics or Maths then a Level 7 or higher is required.
The A Level examinations will be taken at the end of Year 13. There are three x 2 hour papers covering the specification including the application of knowledge including practical and numerical skills. For the third paper, you will also be given some pre-release material based on current biological research on which you will answer questions. There is also a practical assessment (CPAC) which is a pass/fail in addition to the A Level qualification. You will be assessed through 18 core practicals which will be completed throughout the course during normal lessons.
