Four of our Year 13 chemistry students recently participated in the Royal Society of Chemistry Olympiad Challenge. They completed an extremely challenging 2-hour written paper that required them to apply their understanding of chemistry to real-world situations and concepts, pushing their problem-solving skills to the limit. We are delighted to announce that our students performed exceptionally well, achieving one gold (top 8.3% nationally), two silver (top 25% nationally), and one bronze award (top 36.8% nationally).

The UK Chemistry Olympiad Challenge is designed to challenge and inspire students, enabling budding chemists to push themselves further and excel in the subject. Students develop critical problem-solving skills, learn to think more creatively, and get a chance to test their knowledge in new, real-world situations.

We would like to extend a huge congratulations to all of our students for their outstanding achievements.
