  • Intermediate Biology Olympiad

    Published 23/07/24

    Following the Year 10 success in the Biology Challenge competition, we have the results from the Year 12 Intermediate Olympiad Biology competition. This is a very tough and competitive challenge involving only the brightest 16–17 year old Biology students around the world

    22 BGS students took part and over half of them were awarded a certificate, including 1 x Bronze and 3 x Silver, and for the first time since 2020, we have a Gold award too!

  • Year 8 Wildwood Trip

    Published 16/07/24

    In the last few weeks, Year 8 got to go on a trip to Wildwood for science. While we were there, we got to do a CSI investigation where we got to figure out who killed Mr Rabbit. There were a series of clues such as fur, feathers and paw prints to help us with this. Additionally, we went on a wildlife tour and got to see a variety of animals such as bison, wallabies and otters. On top of that, we got to play and shop as well!

    This trip was great fun, and I’m very happy that we got to go on it.
