Olympiad successes

Congratulations to Karandeep Nandra (U6E) who has won a Gold Medal in the British Biology Olympiad (BBO) so coming in the top 2.5% of A level Biologists in the country. The BBO is an annual competition for post-16 students which attracts about 1500 entrants from all types of schools.  Karandeep  has been invited to compete for a place in the British team at the International Biology Olympiad which will take place in Korea during July.

Amar Sood (L6E) has been awarded a distinction in the British Informatics Olympiad (BIO); this is an annual competition in computer programming for secondary schools and sixth form colleges.  Entrants are given a series of three tough problems which they have to solve by writing computer programs.  Amar is looking forward to entering the competition again next year: well done on his success this year.

A superb set of results for the Intermediate Maths Challenge 2010!  Well done to all the pupils who took part, gaining 27 Gold certificates, 33 Silver certificates and 23 Bronze certificates.  Congratulations to Adan Mordcovich, Elena Markovitch and Kavin Vijayakumar who have qualified for the Intermediate Olympiad.
