A Level Biology involves the study of how our bodies work in minute molecular detail and how diseases stop them working, exploring the fragility of life on Earth. The course develops an appreciation of the implications of new developments such as Genetic Engineering and the wider effects on biological systems including our own quality of life. Towards the end of Year 12 all students take part in the Biology field trip, the focus of which is to develop an interest and knowledge of our natural world and to appreciate how we can preserve it. This also allows students to apply inferential statistics to real life situations, developing their mathematical skills. An important element of the course is to train students to think logically, be critically analytical and work collaboratively. These are vital skills at university and in the work place and completing an A Level Biology course enables students to become effective members of any team.
