The course develops living systems from molecules and cells to organisms, ecosystems and gene technology. The current Pearson specification controls assessed content and the school confirms its sequence for each cohort.
Molecules, transport and health
Cells, development and biodiversity
Energy, ecosystems and immunity
Respiration, coordination and gene technology
How live teaching develops understanding
Students connect biological theory to data, experimental evidence and unfamiliar problems. Live lessons use diagrams, modelling, questioning and careful evaluation of conclusions.
Assessment and examination route
The Pearson Edexcel IAL is modular and externally assessed across six units, including written assessment of practical knowledge and scientific skills.
University and career progression
Biology can support medicine, dentistry, veterinary science, biological sciences, neuroscience, environmental science and related health fields. Entry requirements vary.
Is this the right subject?
Strong prior biology and chemistry, confident mathematical handling and precise written explanation are important foundations. Choice must also consider the complete combination, workload and intended university requirements.
