Nikhil wins a bronze medal at national competition
The Latymer team at the British Biology Olympiad
Nikhil, who lives in Chiswick, has won a bronze medal at the British Biology Olympiad.
He was part of a team of students from Latymer Upper School who are now celebrating an exceptional medal haul at the event.
Nikhil's fellow students also did well - Camille and Matilda both got awarded a Gold, which is only awarded to the top 5% of the 10,000 students who took part; Caitlin, Kiara and Nina got Silver and Michael, Jemima and Jessica got bronze. All of them are in the Lower Sixth Form which makes their achievements even more impressive as the competition is open to all Sixth Formers across the UK.
“I’m incredibly proud of our students,” said Kate Bartlett, Teacher of Biology. “This is a prestigious and highly competitive competition. Students are presented with topics and ideas which they are not familiar with, and have to compete by using their problem-solving skills and understanding of core principles. So they’ve demonstrated not only great understanding of the subject, but also their abilities to use and apply their knowledge.”
The British Biology Olympiad (BBO) challenges and stimulates students with an interest in biology to expand and extend their talents. It enables students, aged 16+ to demonstrate their talent and to be suitably rewarded with publicly recognised certificates.
