Oxfordshire School Biologist of the Year Awards, November 10th 2011

Award winners from secondary schools throughout Oxfordshire received prizes for the Sixth Form Biologist of 2011 at a ceremony at Oxford University Museum of Natural History in Oxford.

26 state and independent schools were represented at the event, hosted by the Oxfordshire Independent and State School Partnership (OISPP) and the University of Oxford. Students were given a tour of the museum and then joined parents and teachers for a lecture given by Timothy Walker, Director of Oxford University Botanic Gardens. Mr Walker talked about the positive changes that Biologists can make to reduce the extinction of a wide range of plants across the world. The award winners were then presented with certificates and book tokens.

The OISSP Project Director Tom Kempton said: ‘This event is an excellent opportunity to celebrate the outstanding effort being made by students and their teachers in all schools across Oxfordshire. We are particular short of students opting to take sciences at A- level and this award recognises the efforts being put in by high achieving students. We hope that by recognising their efforts, they will be encouraged to continue biology-related courses at university.

The award winners were as follows;
