Barney Brain Day

12 Jun 2024

Barney’s biologists and psychologists in the Lower Sixth experienced a fascinating masterclass in neuroscience yesterday.

Complementing their A Level courses, we had the pleasure of welcoming Dr Guy Sutton, of Medical Biology Interactive, who delivered his one-day introductory tutorial.

Dr Sutton covered a range of insightful topics, including presentations on basic brain anatomy, the effects of brain damage, how the human brain can be linked to crime, before concluding a thought-provoking day with a sheep brain dissection.

We are grateful to Dr Sutton, as well as our Biology and Psychology departments, for organising such an enriching experience for Barnardians.

Prospective families are invited to join our Headmaster, David Cresswell, to discover his ambitious plan for Barnard Castle School.
