Royal Society of Chemistry Olympiad 2025
The RSC chemistry Olympiad exam was undertaken by our chemists again this year, this exam is for the more able chemistry students in year 13, however this year it was opened up to promising year 12 students who wanted to enter too. This is a very demanding Chemistry exam which takes curriculum content a step further and looks at real world examples and scientific problems. Due to time constraints this year the students haven’t had as much time to prepare so the results are a testament to their ability!
31 Students 8 x year 13 student and 23 x year 12 A-level chemistry students attended the Royal Society of Chemistry Olympiad exam that took place on Thursday 25th January 2024 within school led by Mrs Noble.
All of the students will be awarded a certificate with a significant number achieving silver and gold awards. The exam this year was out of 83 and to achieve a bronze this year the candidates required a score of 9 for bronze, 16 for silver and 29 for gold.
In total we have 14 x Bronze, 11 x Silver, 2 x Gold and 4 participation certificates. These results are outstanding, especially for our Year 12 students, who have not yet covered much of the course material needed for the Olympiad exam. A special shout-out goes to Ayan Gupta, one of our exceptionally talented Year 12 students, who, despite not studying A Level Chemistry, managed to secure a gold certificate for the second consecutive year with an impressive score. Another notable mention is Yawei Li, who also achieved a gold certificate for the second year in a row.
