During @insectweek, some of our Sixth Form biologists did a biodiversity count, with the favourite discoveries being Privet Hawk moths and Buff Tip moths found on campus. The eco initiatives on campus are really paying off. #biodiversity #eco #northdevon

@Imogennapper We are planning a STEM activity for Yr 12 students, dissecting, filtering and quantifying plastics in marine animals. Can you suggest any resources/offer any advice? Thanks

Students diving with seals off the coast of Lundy Island. Spectacular footage taken by Archie, Year 10. How lucky we are to live where we do! #northdevon #diving #ExtraCurricular

There's nothing like an elephant hawk moth and a poplar hawk moth (studied by Yr 12 #biology students) to brighten up your day! #naturelovers #NaturalBeauty #ecology #environment

Although women make up 24% of the UK STEM workforce, at WBS we’re proud to buck that trend. 50% of A-level Chemistry students here are girls. There’s never been a more important time to get into science. @WomenScienceDay @wbs #science

Biology A-level students find a creative way to demonstrate immunity while online learning. #wbs #wbscreative #immunity #pathogen #biology

Thank you to the @WoodlandTrust for donating more trees to our young woodland and natural habitat area - here are some of the trees which have been donated in the past and what a difference they've made to our wildlife. #woodland #habitat #britishwoodland #healthyliving #wbs

@WestBuckland Goodbye Mrs Kent, we'll miss you. Sorry, my singing voice let me down again.

[Noah Shawcross @n_shawcross]

I think this is a pellucid fly (hoverfly) that lays it's eggs in the nests of wasps. Rather beautiful (biology and appearance)!
