Biology is the study of living things, how they work, how they interact and how they affect the world around us.

The A-Level course is very wide-ranging, from molecular biology to the study of ecosystems, and our teachers will make sure the course is interesting and inspiring. Biology is a subject that is relevant to everyone throughout their life and will train you to think scientifically, a skill which is useful in all careers.

You will be taught by highly qualified and experienced teachers who have a passion for Biology and will challenge you to make sure that you gain the highest possible grade at the end of the course. You will have the chance to enter for local and national Biology competitions and St Wilfrid’s has had great success in these competitions in recent years. 

A large proportion of our students enjoy Biology so much that they go on to study Biology-based degrees at university, a true measure of our success.
