The Biology Department aims to provide students with the opportunity to explore life, in all its complexity and diversity. During the AS and A Level courses, students will be taken on an exciting journey through a broad range of topics including human biology, microbiology, ecology, genetics and many more. They will be actively encouraged to pursue their interests in studying the living world, and through classroom practicals, discussions, debates and extra-curricular opportunities, they will become equipped with the skills and understanding to thrive in their study of the subject, however far they wish to pursue it. As well as allowing students to pursue their own interests in studying the living world, the biology course will nurture many transferrable skills of great benefit to students. These include: • Independent planning and organisation • Research skills • Confidence in working with statistical data • Looking critically at data and associated conclusions • Improving evaluative judgements
