At the end of April, students in Year 9 and Year 10 took part in the British Biology Challenge 2025. The British Biology Challenge is a series of online quizzes with questions that are set on the British school curriculum, but the competition also rewards those students whose knowledge of the subject that has been increased by reading books and magazines, watching natural history programmes, taking notice of the news media for items of biological interest, and are generally aware of our natural flora and fauna. This is the junior version of the British Biology Olympiad which our Year 12 students took part in, earlier in the year.
On Wednesday 18th June, Mr Seddon presented the finalist students who took part in both parts of the Challenge, with their certificates. As Mr Seddon said, these awards are special and to be valued; Mr Seddon himself still has his Maths Challenge certificates from when he was a student! Congratulations to the following students on their awards:
Participation – Matthias Tan, Sasha Azubel
Highly commended – Garam (Momo) Lee, Naomi Alpern
Bronze – Natnaree (Suri) Tiraratanakul
Silver – Maneeyada (Leeya) Leelahanaj
