Pupils in Year 7 took part in the annual ‘Cells Competition’, in which pupils were tasked to create an animal or plant cell of their choice in the form of a model.

Pupils were challenged to be as creative as possible, and the entries didn’t disappoint. We had some fabulous cakes, lego models and lots of marvelous structures.

This year, 168 students entered, with everyone in the science department impressed at the pupil’s efforts. Due to this, we decided it was impossible to choose a 3rd, 2nd or 1st winner. So we choose to award winners for the wide variety of competition categories, including:

  • Best 3D model
  • Most scientific
  • Most colourful
  • Most detailed

This year we introduced a class competition that ran alongside the individual competition the two categories were:

  • Class with the highest participation
  • Class with the highest average score

All entries were displayed during the Year 7 Parents Evening. Last Friday during an assembly, the prizes were handed out to pupils and the classes that won the class competition received chocolate for their class.

A massive well done to Year 7, who made this years competition a fantastic event and one that was exceptionally difficult to judge!
