Chemistry students from Prior Pursglove College have achieved some phenomenal Chemistry Olympiad results!
Designed to challenge and inspire, the UK Chemistry Olympiad (UKChO) by Royal Society of Chemistry is a unique opportunity for students to push themselves further and excel in the chemistry field. Budding chemists develop critical problem-solving skills, learn to think more creatively and get a chance to test their knowledge in new, real-world situations. They could even find themselves representing the UK at the prestigious International Chemistry Olympiad. The students sat a 2 hour written exam comprised of 6 multi stage questions. The papers were then marked by James before submitting the marks to the RSC along with a sample of the papers.
From the 11 students entered from Prior, 4 were awarded gold and the remaining 7 awarded silver. All 11 Prior students were in the top 33.4% of the 16,216 entries with 4 students placed in the top 8%. These are some of the best results in the country and we are extremely proud of all the students. We also thank James Covell, our A-level Chemistry teacher for all his hard work and dedication in making these results possible. Keep on leading the way!
