Biology Society
Lectures are organised to support work in the Biology
specification, to extend knowledge of the specification
and to give boys an up-to-date account of current
advances in modern Biology. Some lectures may also
have a more general “Natural History” theme and be
open to middle school pupils as well. Some pupils may
also carry out more open-ended practical investigations
or other experiments. Additionally, groups of pupils can
prepare presentations on topics of interest to them and
present them to their peers.
Entomology Society
A chance for young entomologists to study insects.
