The Human Evolution Society is proving popular at King Alfred School Academy in Highbridge.
The society is run by a former palaeoanthropologist and is the only one of its kind in the UK that helps prepare A-level students for a range of careers in top universities.

This year, the Human Evolution Society student leaders are co-presidents Olivia Earthy, who is applying to read Medicine at Oxford, and Grace Huggins who is applying to read Psychological and Behavioural Sciences at Cambridge.
