Congratulations to the six Upper Sixth students who have gained Gold and Silver awards in the Royal Society of Chemistry's highly challenging UK Chemistry Olympiad. Their success places them among the top performing A-level Chemistry students nationally: a record number of almost 12,000 students from 950 schools took part this year.
The Chemistry Olympiad offers a unique opportunity for students to push themselves further and excel in the chemistry field. The students have been preparing for the competition in after-school sessions for four months, developing critical problem-solving skills, learning to think more creatively and testing their knowledge in new, real-world situations.
