If students achieve appropriate grades in their GCSE examination and choose to continue to study Biology they will follow the AQA syllabus.
- At AS level the course covers Biology and Disease and the Variety of living organisms.
- At A level further modules cover Populations and Environment and Control in cells and organisms.

Field Work
The Biology department also runs several field trips. We have recently taken the students to Chester Zoo and on an extended three day field course to Wales to study the coastal ecosystems.
Extra-Curricular Activities
The Department has an excellent Biology club run by Sixth Form students which meets on Friday lunchtime in BL1.
We also have an extensive timetable of guest lecturers who give a range of talks on cutting edge Biological subjects. The talks are open to Sixth Form and Year 11 students and younger students who show a flair for the subject.
