Biology
Biology at Rydal Penrhos School is a popular subject, with particular emphasis on the development of skills to carry out rigorous scientific enquiry.
Why study Biology?
In Biology the use communication, ICT, maths, safe laboratory practice, and topical issues make the subject relevant to pupils’ lives. It is also a subject that will complement many other subjects, whether they are sciences or arts. It is rapidly becoming the science for the next century, as our ability to manipulate DNA will fundamentally change many of the ways in which we live and work.
