Good news!

The results of the 2008 British Biology Olympiad competition have been published. Well over 1700 of the best candidates from the top schools across the UK were entered, and the standard of answers on the Theory paper was apparently outstanding.

The Biology Olympiad papers are very demanding indeed. So well done to our Year 13 Biologists this year!

The Galapagos Islands and Ecuador: The joint Geography and Biology expedition to South America in was a fantastic experience for all who went. Our initial base in Ecuador was the capital Quito. From there we travelled deep into the Amazon rainforest, follwed in Darwin's footsteps in the Galapagos Islands, and trekked in the high Andes close to Cotopaxi.
