Key Stage 5 (Years 12 & 13)
At A level, students study the AQA Biology specification, which covers topics ranging from biological molecules, cell structure, immune system, taxonomy, inheritance and variation, speciation, bioenergetics and cloning.
Content is examined at the end of year 13 with three 2 hour papers, drawing on aspects from each discipline as well as practical work completed throughout the two years. Practical work also contributes towards the cross-board endorsement of practical skills; a must for any aspiring scientist.
