At GCSE, pupils can study Biology as a separate science or as part of Combined Science, depending on their strengths and interests. In the Sixth Form, A Level Biology challenges pupils to think analytically, design investigations and develop clear, extended scientific writing.

Practical work is central to the subject. Field studies in Northumberland, alongside biennial overseas expeditions with Operation Wallacea, give pupils first-hand experience of biodiversity and conservation, deepening understanding well beyond the classroom.
