A-level Biology - building on the GCSE course, A-level Biology provides an opportunity to gain a sound understanding of fundamental biological principles, whilst exploring modern applications. It provides a foundation for further study of Biology or related subjects in higher education including medicine, veterinary science, environmental science, microbiology, genetics, physiotherapy, nursing, equine studies and sports science. The course covers, molecules, cells and systems; applications of Biology; inheritance, evolution and ecosystems; physiology and the environment; and practical exercises.

Our A-Level results are excellent: 75% Grade A/B in 2007.

A-level Chemistry - students gain a developing insight into "the meaning of life, the universe and everything". The course is an essential prerequisite for careers in most branches of pure and applied sciences including medicine, veterinary medicine and agriculture. Concepts covered at GCSE level are expanded and emphasis is placed on the understanding and application of principles. A variety of methods are used to analyse and evaluate data and hypotheses including practical work and information technology.

Our A-Level results are excellent: 80% Grade A/B in 2007.

A-level Physics - all main themes covered at GCSE level are studied to a greater depth and often with a higher mathematical content. The relevance of the course is stressed by looking at the applications of the theory to our everyday lives. The course will therefore prove stimulating and challenging for any student who is keen to gain a real understanding of the physical world and the technological society in which we live. Course content includes: forces and motion; electrons and photons; wave properties; forces, fields and energy; cosmology, health physics, materials and nuclear and particle physics. The A-level course is excellent for those considering careers in medical sciences, all forms of pure science, engineering and many other applied sciences such as materials technology, and electronics.

Our Science A-Level results are excellent: 69% Grade A/B in 2007 ~ across all subjects including Psychology.

Whilst the 100-acre school site provides magnificent grounds for environmental and conservation projects, science studies are enhanced with regular outings, field trips and visits to lectures, observatories, museums, and power stations. QE students compete in national and local competitions.
