A level Biology will help you make sense of the living world around you. You will study the biology of plants and animals, human health and performance and the wider natural environment. You can progress to study a wide variety of courses at university, from agriculture to zoology. For medicine, veterinary science and dentistry it remains very important. The A level course is split into eight units, covering the following topics: 1. Biological molecules 2. Cells 3. Organisms exchange substances with their environment 4. Genetic information, variation and relationships between organisms 5. Energy transfers in and between organisms (A level only) 6. Organisms respond to changes in their internal and external environments (A level only) 7. Genetics, populations, evolution and ecosystems (A level only) 8. The control of gene expression (A level only) We run courses throughout the Sixth Form to help extend our pupils. These include the CREST scheme, where we encourage gold level participation, Biology Olympiad, running the science club, running a dissection club, a week biology field course, external speakers, a medics club and in house extension work.
