At Key Stage 5 we offer AQA A-level Biology (7402). This course is a two year A-level course. During the course students will study:
- Biological molecules
- Organisms exchange substances with their environment
- Genetic information, variation and relationships between organisms
- Energy transfers in and between organisms
- Organisms respond to changes in their internal and external environments
- Genetics, populations, evolution and ecosystems
- The control of gene expression
Alongside this students will also be taught relevant practical skills and they will complete twelve required practical tasks to gain the accreditation in this area.
