Success at The British Biology Olympiad 2026

Just before the half-term break, 30 Lower Sixth Biology pupils and 1 Upper Sixth, took part in this year’s British Biology Olympiad. The competition comprised of two 45-minute papers. The first paper contains many questions about all aspects of biology, and the second paper contained longer problems. Pupils were presented with unfamiliar ideas and topics and had to use problem solving skills and intuition.

As a completely voluntary competition, we are very proud of all the pupils who took part. A huge congratulations to Oliver Y for achieving a gold award, Wayne L and Fitnet Q for achieving a silver award and to Emma F, Jessie D and Hayley L for achieving bronze. Well done!
