British Biology Olympiad
British Biology Olympiad
The Olympiad challenges and stimulates gifted students with an interest in Biology to expand and extend their talents.
In offering a wider syllabus than A-level, it allows gifted students to demonstrate their knowledge and to be suitably rewarded and publicly recognised by the award of medals, certificates and other prizes.
It is hoped that competing in the Olympiad will encourage students already interested in this valuable, wide-ranging and rewarding subject to continue their study beyond A-level.

Neuroscience and Special Education
Myths, methods and making a difference
Conference for the National Forum for Neuroscience and Special Education
The field of Special Educational Needs has so much to learn from recent developments in Neuroscience. With a new generation of children entering our schools with Complex Learning Difficulties and Disabilities (CLDD), teachers need new insights that can illuminate the learning pathways of these children.
E-Safety Live, organised by the South West Grid for Learning, now in its 6th year, are two landmark events bringing together online safety providers, experts and global industry leaders, to participate and discuss with delegates the latest online safety topics. Designed to aid practitioners in the UK to connect with providers, the events will focus on ways to better help safeguard children, as well as professionals, when online.
There are two dates for this event:
20th March 2012 London and 22nd March 2012 Edinburgh.
