Summer masterclasses
In this year’s summer masterclass sessions for small groups (£35 per hour session) we’re covering four important topic areas on four evenings (6:05-7pm) in August. The sessions are designed to be suitable for all students on all A-level biology exam boards. They are friendly, relaxed and supportive 🙂
The sessions feature four “core” topics, combined with exam technique and practice questions. The sessions are recommended for AQA, Oxford AQA International, Edexcel (Salters) and OCR students starting year 12 or year 13.
| Mon 03/08/26 | Biological molecules – the chemicals underpinning life |
| Wed 12/08/26 | Genes and protein synthesis – the genetic code, and how it can change |
| Wed 19/08/26 | Gas exchange – driving evolution in life of all shapes and sizes |
| Wed 26/08/26 | Meiosis and mitosis – the balance between growth, diversity and disease |

- Help getting ready for A-level biology, with a head start on biological molecules, cells, DNA and other topics you’ll meet in the first year of A-level biology.

- Get answers to any questions you might have about the course, or the science itself.
- Top up your maths skills ready for the “maths for biologists” aspect of the A-level course.
- Explore the different types of questions that come up in mocks, class tests and the A-level exams themselves.
- Put A-level biology topics into context, reflecting on the latest research, career ideas, and university prospects.
Useful for A-level biology students entering Year 13 (A2):
- Recap your Year 12/ AS biology learning, with “troubleshooting” on any topics you find challenging.
- Work on areas for improvement following mock exams or class test results.
- Get a head start on Year 13 topics that delve deeper into DNA, genetics and the nervous system.
- Focussing on the assessment outcomes (AO) of the major exam boards.
