THE scientific achievements of Charles Darwin formed the basis for an essay-writing competition at Abbey Gate College, Aldford.
Year 10 GCSE students entered the annual biology essay competition, which has been a regular feature of the syllabus since 2001.
The essay gave students the chance to explore Darwin’s theory of evolution through the process of natural selection.
The standard of the work was high and all the participants were awarded certificates.
The winner was Dean Forrester of Chester, with Ellie De Bolla of Wrexham and Timothy Shaw of Gresford taking the runner-up positions.
