Students win Biological Research Bursaries

Website Editor: Leah Schabas (Yr 12)

Two Yr 13 students have been awarded prizes for Biological Research Projects they carried out over the summer. At the end of Yr 12, Saarah Ebrahim and Alisha Allana both won bursaries to carry out original biological research projects at the National Institute for Biological Research. 

The girls presented their findings at Imperial College over half term and both won Platinum and Gold CREST Awards. CREST (Celebrating CREativity in Science and Technology) Awards encourage students to develop their scientific curiosity, problem-solving and communication skills.  To be awarded a platinum award, a project must be judged to be of university standard.

In addition, Alisha also won the Excite Award for the best life sciences project. Both girls should be congratulated on these outstanding achievements and for the focus and dedication they have shown.
