Introduction to AQA A-level Biology

Biology is a popular and interesting subject. During the course, you will gain a more detailed insight into some of the topics you have studied before. You will also cover many aspects that you may never have even thought about. 

Please do not think that biology is an ‘easy option’ - the subject requires in-depth thinking skills and the knowledge of many new scientific words and concepts. You will need to work with full commitment throughout the course to achieve your full potential. 

There is a great deal of support offered from the biology team and the teachers will frequently make themselves available to help you with any difficulties you may have. We work very much as a team at Wilmslow High School and you can therefore ask any of us for help if you need it.

This transition work is designed to give you a head start to the course. Complete all tasks to the best of your ability and keep them together and organised in a file, ready to be seen by your teacher in September.  You also need to be prepared for an assessment during your first week to check your knowledge in the areas studied.

If you have any questions, please email me.

Best wishes
