A Level Biology is a challenging course which will provide an opportunity to gain a knowledge and understanding of living organisms in relevant exciting contexts. In Year 1 we will cover exciting topics such as; Development of practical skills in biology, cell structure, microscopy, biological molecules, enzymes and nucleotides, Exchange and transport, Biodiversity, evolution and disease. In Year 2 we will examine communication, homeostasis, photosynthesis, respiration, genetics, evolution and ecosystems. A Level Biology is a particular complement to the other Sciences, as well as to other A Levels such as Math's, Geography and Psychology. A Level Biology would give you access to a career in any area of science in further or higher education related to living organisms. For example, marine biology, medicine, physiotherapy, biochemistry, pharmacology, conservation, teaching, the list is endless!
8 or more GCSE passes at grade 5, equivalent or better including Math's and English Grade 77 in Combined Science OR Grade 777 in Triple Science. Grade 6 in Mathematics is also required.
YEAR 12 - These exams are not assessed externally in the summer, but all content in Year 1 will be required in Year 2 Paper 1—1h30; 70 marks; 50% Y1 grade‐ (does not count towards final A level grade) Paper 2—1h30; 70 marks; 50% Y1 grade‐ (does not count towards final A level grade) Each paper has a mix of multiple choice, short answer and longer written answers (subject to change) YEAR 13- assessed externally Paper 1—2h15; 100 marks; 37% of total A‐level grade Paper 2—2h15; 100 marks; 37% of total A‐level grade Paper 3—1h30; 70 marks; 26% of total A‐level grade Each paper has a mix of multiple choice, short answer and longer written answers. Practical endorsement— pass/fail grade reported alongside the final A level grade based on lab work in school across both years.
