Chemistry Olympiad success

Earlier this term, Sixth Form Chemistry students took part in the 2023 Royal Society of Chemistry Olympiad.

This event is a gruelling two-hour examination, and a true cerebral workout in which pupils are challenged at a level of chemical knowledge and understanding well beyond the boundaries of the A-Level syllabus.

We left the competition victorious with two Gold Awards achieved by Josh (U6PWM) and Varun (L6JCC) and two Bronze Awards, won by Avi (L6RSK) and Alex (L6SJA). At the best of times, it is no mean feat to win these rarely attained awards – let alone against such fierce competition from other schools’ Upper Sixth pupils. Congratulations to our contenders for their truly remarkable achievements! n
