- Biological Molecules
- Cells
- Genetic information
And much more in a highly practical way. A facilitating subject for Russell group universities, the study of Biology can lead to careers in:
- Medicine, nursing or other allied health professions
- Genetics
- Environmental science
- Marine biology or zoology
“The fact that your body can coordinate itself to get you up out of bed, enable you to explore the deeply complex world around you, interact with people and animals, to see, hear and feel life is amazing. I am in awe of what the human body can do, how we evolved and how we have found our place in this giant revolving ecosystem. I will forever be a willing student of biology because it has allowed me a privileged insight into all of these things.”

“I chose Rainhill Sixth due to the small class sizes and the strong relationship I was able to build on with the teachers. Teachers were able to tailor my learning in order to meet my specific targets by adapting and changing the lessons to allow the students to become engaged and fully understand the content. Biology also furthered our engagement with the subject by taking us on trips such as to Chester Zoo. This allowed us to place into perspective the subject in which we had been studying into a real-life environment”
