Our College grounds are not only beautiful, but are also biodiverse, with a range of different habitats across the site that are used for learning. Beyond the tennis courts is a triangular grassy area, some of which is mown regularly, and the rest is only mown after taller plants have grown, flowered and set seed later in the summer. This increases biodiversity as it encourages a greater range of plants to grow, and this brings in more insects. A Level Biology students use this area to compare the effects of the two mowing regimes. They also study the effects of trampling, which wears away grass and some plants, whilst other plants are more resilient and survive despite being walked on by many feet. A range of different sites within the College grounds enables our students to collect data and carry out statistical analysis as part of their A Level Biology course.
