Talented students from John Leggott College have been awarded medals after competing in the National Biology Olympiad.

The Biology Olympiad is a national competition for the brightest biologists in the country. Organised by the Institute of Biology, the competition attracts over 4,000 entrants, many of whom are students from private schools and colleges.

The students who took part had to complete a two hour online test paper covering topics from ethology to biochemistry and the questions were much more demanding than those seen in a normal A level examination.

John Leggott College has been entering teams into the competition for over 10 years with this year’s team being one of the most successful. The team of 14 saw 3 students being awarded silver medals, 3 students being awarded bronze medals, 2 students being highly commended and another 4 students being commended.
