Biology
Stoke Newington School and Sixth Form
Course summary
You will be studying biology in a very successful department; we have consistently achieved excellent results and have been recognised as a leading school in the borough. Biology A level is not easy, but through outstanding teaching, support and intervention, we ensure no student is left behind. We do not simply teach students to pass exams, we inspire them to develop a lifelong interest in biology. The course is very wide-ranging, covering topics such as heart disease, forensic science, brain function and genetic engineering. There are several core practicals including field work techniques for which we travel to a local eco-park. Much of the course relates to ‘real world’ science and we frequently draw on current news stories to engage and inspire students.
