The Chemistry Olympiad is the leading chemistry competition for students in secondary education across the UK.

Run annually, the Olympiad is an opportunity for teachers to challenge their chemistry students, helping them to develop problem solving skills and apply familiar knowledge in new and interesting contexts.

Dr Bendall says that it was a 'demanding paper' and that the pupils who entered all gave some 'very good answers'.

The following pupils all achieved silver in The Chemistry Olympiad: Alex Choy, Charlotte Tebbutt, Justin Lok, Max Woolterton, Neeraj Hari Krishnan, Nima Moghaddas Matthew Hanrahan, Alex Stoner, Macsen Laming.

Congratulations to all who took part.
