OCR GCSE Biology A & Environmental Studies
We understand the changing needs of schools to meet the requirements of the different exam boards, and we offer a range of courses that can be tailored to these needs.
Our centres are well-equipped to help schools carry out controlled assessment work, from schools who only wish to collect data to those who would prefer to complete the entire write-up while on site. We offer first-class ICT facilities providing excellent access for all students with 1:1 student/computer ratios. All staff are trained in the controlled assessment requirements and are ready to help teachers carry out assessments at every stage and if your school prefers to take a coursework-style approach, we’re more than happy to accommodate this, just as we have in the past.
Fieldwork studies are a great way of showing students the importance of how science works’, learning how science is used day-to-day in the real world. Students practice key numeracy and literacy skills as we go through the course content.

Live on Earth
The survival of any one living organism within an ecosystem is dependant on many influencing factors. Students explore this theory through the identification of species in a variety of habitats. Concepts of competition are discussed as well as the influence of other factors, biotic, abiotic or human in origin.
