Thirteen Tewkesbury Academy scientists have excelled in the Biology Challenge, a quiz-style competition aimed at 13- to 15-year-olds.
This rigorous contest required students to complete two multiple-choice papers online, with questions spanning the school curriculum and delving into topics like the vulnerability of tall trees to climate change.
The Biology Challenge encourages young scientists to engage in additional reading and explore natural history programs. With nearly 700 schools participating and around 45,000 entrants, the competition is fierce.
Tewkesbury students’ exceptional performance is a testament to their hard work and dedication:
Commended: Three students
Highly Commended: Eight students
Bronze Award: Rhys (pictured)
Silver Award: Charlie (pictured)
The Bronze and Silver awards place Rhys and Charlie in the top 15% and 10% of participants respectively, highlighting their outstanding achievements.
Dr Alice Kennedy, Director of Science, praised ‘the phenomenal achievement of the group and all those who took part’.
Congratulations to all our talented students for their remarkable accomplishments.
