MTS Biology Olympiad Success
Success in National Competiton
This year our Biologists have enjoyed great success in the recent Biology Olympiad which is a competition well known for extending the principles learnt at A Level and includes material which is not on the specifications, relying on students wider reading and natural talents to succeed.
The competition is primarily aimed at Year 13 students, but we afforded our Year 12 students the opportunity to take part also and they did not disappoint! MTS boys performed to an exceptionally high standard.
Three of our Upper Sixth biologists attained a Gold Award, placing them in the top 5% of students nationally.
We also had five Silver Awards and a phenomenal eight Bronze Awards. A special mention must also go to Faiz Siddiqui (L6th), who despite only covering just over quarter of the A Level prior to sitting the Olympiad, achieved a Silver Award, which is an outstanding achievement.
