Studying Biology in Ffynone

In Ffynone House School, the three sciences, Chemistry, Biology and Physics are studied as independent GCSE subjects at Key Stage 4.

Biology covers a range of topics – from the internal workings of organisms in physiology and the interdependence of living things in ecology, to social issues including human influences on the environment and the ethical considerations of genetics.

The study of Biology therefore encourages an appreciation of these issues and their implications, as well as providing an insight into the living world. It is intended that the use of a variety of approaches to study, will stimulate interest, promote understanding and engender an overall appreciation and sense of wonder at the living world.
