Biology is the study of living things. Biology encompasses our everyday life in many ways; it is difficult to switch on the news without details of some advancement in medicine, genetic engineering or gene therapy. Biology as a subject continues to grow in all fields both on a molecular and global level. This course complements the traditional science subjects and provides a balance with the humanities and arts. The specification content will vary from the familiar, such as cells, to applications of modern medicine like the human genome project. You will get the opportunity to develop your understanding of the living world whilst enhancing a range of skills such as: ● Implementing practical investigations. ● Interpreting data and applying mathematical skills. ● Apply biological principles and concepts in solving problems. ● Present relevant information clearly and logically in a variety of ways, for example, presentations. ● Use biological knowledge to show an understanding of the ethical, social, economic, and environmental implications and applications of biology.
40 points in their 9 best GCSE subjects or equivalent qualifications. (Where 9 subjects have not been studied, the school reserves the right to consider entry; this will be dependent on actual exam results, not predictions, and students must still achieve the minimum individual subject requirements.) A minimum of 2 grade 6s in GCSE subjects or grades of the same standard in equivalent qualifications. Grade 6 in every single science to be studied or Grade 6-6 in Combined Science.
Three written examinations at the end of Year 13 (Year 2) Practical endorsement assessed over the two years.
