Mrs Jenkin (Biology Teacher)

Our Lower Sixth Form Biology students recently took part in the Intermediate Biology Olympiad – a worldwide competition run by The Royal Society of Biology in which 8282 students from 466 schools worldwide participated this year.

The competition consists of a one-hour exam, with questions on topics that students are likely to have covered at GCSE and in their first year of A-Level.

The girls scored very well with a large number of them being awarded Highly Commended or Commended. In particular, we would like to congratulate Rea Pourawal who won a Gold medal, placing her in the top 5.3% worldwide and Katie Lunn, Alice Baker, Sathmi Ambepitiya, Ellie Simester and Charlotte Webb who won a Bronze medal.
