Student Success In The 2024 Cambridge Chemistry Challenge

Designed to stretch and challenge students studying A-level Chemistry, the Cambridge Chemistry Challenge takes students significantly beyond the syllabus and encourages them to think about science in the way they would at university.

Our Lower Sixth Form Chemists took part in the competition back in June. They had prepared themselves by taking part in the weekly Cambridge Chemistry Challenge co-curricular club, developing their critical problem-solving skills and creative thinking, and putting to the test their knowledge of chemistry in real-world situations.

All the students who took part achieved a certificate. Special mentions go to Louise Gambling who was awarded a Silver certificate, and Charlotte Gledhill, Hamish O'Brien, Joe Jaimon Jacob, Sammie Borland, and Tom Windley who were all awarded Copper certificates. All our College Chemists faced tough national competition, and we congratulate them all on the resilience they demonstrated.
