Biology is a subject that engages the learner with a sense of wonder about life and the processes that contribute to it. From the study of genetics and the latest pioneering research to cure cancer to environmental issues, biology provides an in depth understanding of our natural world. At Mulberry, Biology is viewed as a subject that not only enriches the learning in understanding natural phenomena, but also bridges a variety of disciplines together from geography to history. It is an exciting and practical subject that engages students with in-depth knowledge of the natural world and develops a sense of curiosity through analysis and enquiry-based learning. Advancements in biotechnology and bioengineering have also added an ethical dimension to the subject. Biology can only be mastered through a deep understanding and not just the memorisation of factual information. We adopt a traditional academic and scholarly approach to learning where students are encouraged to read journals and books beyond the curriculum, to engage with deep learning outside the classroom consistently through the use of the VLE and by applying what they have learnt in class in a variety of contexts. Students are also set essay questions to improve their academic literacy skills and have a natural appreciation of practical science through the regular engagement with practical work in class and enrichment activities.
