During British Science Week 2017 all year 9 and 10 pupils took part in the Royal Society of Biology’s Biology Challenge. Around 40,000 pupils took part in the Challenge which involved two online tests consisting of a vast array of biology based questions to stretch and trial the knowledge of the participants involved.

Seven pupils here at Purcell received certificates for their efforts and achievements on the test.
