A-Level Biology builds upon GCSE knowledge before extending students understanding to develop a closer relationship with the world in which we live. We start at the cellular and molecular level, which then helps to understand the tissues we find in organs, and then eventually how these organs work. There is comparison along the way of prokaryotes vs eukaryotes, and plants vs animals, helping develop Biologists who have a broad understanding of the living world.
Sixth form applicants need at least five grade 5s at GCSE but some A-level subjects need a higher grade. Assessment tests for those not taking recognised exams. Grade 7 in Biology GCSE or 8-8 in combined science GCSE, Grade 6 in maths GCSE
Examination: 100% (Three Written Papers) The Practical Endorsement is completed over the two years through a series of practicals. The aim is to develop technical, mathematical, and analytical skills to bring pupils to the level of competence needed to embark upon a scientific degree.
