Year 12 Biology students recently competed in the prestigious British Biology Olympiad 2022 Competition. This competition is extremely challenging and involves applying problem-solving, logic and abstract skills to a variety of biological scenarios. All the students performed well, with the following achieving a Bronze Award: Ellie Archer, Abi Cannell, Violet Cramphorn, Lottie Hobson, Bethan Sleath and Zoe van Maanenberg. Well done also to Emilia Fiedler, Maddie Robb, Hannah Stapleton, Jodie Austin and Maisie Pryke, who achieved a Highly Commended.
