Every year we take our Y12 Biologists to Slapton Ley, in Devon, for a fieldtrip. We spend the week investigating sand dune succession and carrying out freshwater ecological surveys. The students really enjoy the week and get some excellent, often degree level, experience of fieldwork.
Biology virtual theatre night
During lock down our Biologists had a 'virtual' trip to the theatre. We listened to the play Photograph 51, written by Anna Zeigler and staring the amazing Miriam Morgoyles. The play tells the story of Rosalind Franklin, her life, her outstanding science and the struggles she faced within a patriarchal system.
