Dissection club is run by Sixth Form Students Will Pallett and Cameron Dick. Once a half term, on a Tuesday night after school, the club allows all year groups to come along to dissect organs such as the heart and organisms such as a frog and a rat. So far, the club has been a major success, with many students of all ages attending the Tuesday night learning. With the support and guidance from Will and Cameron, all attendees have been able to participate, learn and gain confidence behind the scalpel whilst having a great time!

A new attendee who has joined KEVI from another school said;

“Dissection Club is an exciting, new opportunity not offered to me by my previous school. Student-led and for all years; Dissection Club offers an insight into Biology beyond GCSE and A level specifications. It is an intriguing concept which fuels scientific curiosity”

So far, in the academic year, the club has allowed students to dissect the heart, eye and kidney. These sessions have allowed the attendees to gain confidence and the skills that will be required in the dissection of full organisms later in the year.

We both hope to see even more people joining the club, so look out for posters advertising the next dissection session!
