What are lessons like in this subject?

We use metacognition at the heart of our teaching to promote understanding and memory of key concepts. Lessons are taught by teachers who are knowledgeable and have a passion for their subject. We focus on developing the skills needed to excel at Biology, lots of which are transferable and will help students succeed after their time at college. Many skills are developed during practical work, and we have well-equipped laboratories to support you with this.
