All the Biology teachers share a passion for Biology and enjoy working with you to help you to achieve your potential. Our vision is that you not only enjoy the course but also develop a curiosity that leads you to explore Biology beyond the confines of the specification. The Biology A-Level is designed to be a two-year linear course and will be assessed in the summer of 2024. The course content is split into eight teaching topics: • Biological molecules • Cells • Organisms exchange substances with their environment • Genetic information, variation and relationships between organisms • Energy transfers in and between organisms • Organisms respond to changes in their internal and external environments • Genetics, populations, evolution and ecosystems • The control of gene expression
Joining the Sixth Form is by interview and on the basis of academic achievement at GCSE. Applicants are invited to interview following a report from their current school indicating their predicted GCSE grades. The likely offer made, following a successful interview, will be conditional on a minimum of 5 A / 7 grades, with A / 7 grades in the subjects to be taken in the Sixth Form.
There are 3 examination papers at the end of the A-Level course. They contain questions with a synoptic element and range of extended response questions. There will also be questions designed to allow the most able students the opportunity to demonstrate the full extent of their knowledge and skills. These questions will support the awarding of a grade A* at A level.
