Royal Society of Chemistry Olympiad 2026

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 after the success of last yearit 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!

65 Students 5 x year 13 student and 60 x year 12 A-level chemistry students attended the Royal Society of Chemistry Olympiad exam that took place on Wednesday 28th January 2026 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 84 and to achieve a bronze this year the candidates required a score of 13 for bronze, 23 for silver and 38 for gold.

In total we have 33 x Bronze, 15 x Silver, 2 x Gold and15 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.
