Chemistry Olympiad 2022 Oxbridge Day

Chemistry Olympiad 2022

Oxbridge Day

Congratulations to our students who completed the Chemistry Olympiad paper just before Christmas. This is a tough competition with lots of content aimed at students who are nearing the end of the A level studies so it is a real challenge for our Year 12 students. However, Sixth Form students Ethan, Abisitha, Malgorzata, Clyde, Nathan, Zaara, Vivisha and Musa all achieved a Bronze certificate. Victoria, Niklaus, Melody, Michael and Amelia all achieved a Silver certificate and Helen achieved a Gold certificate. Well done to all of those who took part.

Top Year 12 students from Chigwell, Barking Abbey and Woodford County High schools came to Chigwell for Oxbridge Day, an event for those considering applying to Oxford or Cambridge.

The half-day event had students and their teachers sharing ideas about how to make a successful application. Sessions dealt with choosing a college, preparing for an interview and selecting the right course. The students enjoyed taking part in taster, university-styled lessons, meeting students from other schools and sharing some tasty meals as well. Afterwards, Sindy from Woodford County High described the occasion online here
