| The A2 syllabus
consists of: » Energy, Control and Continuity » Environment » Applying Biological Principles » Applied Ecology plus Coursework. » Microbes and Disease A2 follows the same trend as AS with the Energy, Control and Continuity Module examined in January, while the Environment Module and Microbes & Disease are examined in June. The second piece of coursework, carried out in the Winter Term, forms a significant proportion of the mark for the Environment Module. Results emerging from modular examinations have been well in excess of national averages; a trend which we expect to continue. |
We recommend that
students should enter this A' level science with a minimum
of BB in Dual Award. We aim to develop your understanding
of biological facts and principles and to help you to fulfil
your academic potential and achieve the grades required to
progress to the next stage of your chosen career. We offer
you constructive feedback about your progress via topic tests
and monitoring and a promise to set and mark work. There are
about 100 students on our A' level course and we anticipate
further growth in numbers. We expect you to have a positive attitude, a willingness to develop self-study habits to consolidate work done in class and the motivation to succeed. We expect prompt attendance at all lessons, with the appropriate files and books and that work is handed in on time.
