Mayfield Biologists Achieve Top Medals at National Olympiad

The Biology Olympiad is a national competition that challenges and stimulates students with an interest in Biology to expand and extend their talents. It enables students to demonstrate their knowledge and to be suitably rewarded and publicly recognised by the award of medals or certificates. In 2022 more than 10,000 of the strongest biologists in Year 13, from over 700 schools across the country, entered the competition with only a minority of students receiving medals.  

Jemima gained Gold, Ewa and Victoria D Silver, and Awujo Bronze. Both Ewa and Victoria were within 1% of winning a gold medal, which equates to less than 1/10th of a second, had it been a 100 metre Olympic race!
