Year 13 success in Chemistry Olympiad
On Wednesday 1 May, during Sixth Form Assembly, Bronze Chemistry Olympiad certificates were awarded to Alexis Pate, Charles Henderson, Issy Stanton, Jonas Leong-Smith, Josh Ellis, Thomas Curwen, with participation certificates to Eastrine Raj and Harry Dashfield.
Designed to challenge and inspire, the UK Chemistry Olympiad (UKChO) is a unique opportunity for students to push themselves further and excel in the chemistry field. Students see it as an opportunity to develop their critical problem-solving skills, and to test their existing knowledge in real-world situations.
‘It can help make difficult A-level questions easier, as you get used to different, harder ways of asking questions, and so would be good preparation for the chemistry A-level exam.’
The UK Chemistry Olympiad is open to all secondary schools and colleges in the British Isles. However, the questions are aimed at students in their last year of study before higher education.
