Every year, the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) runs a national competition for all A-level Chemistry students in the UK.

The RSC Chemistry Olympiad is designed to be challenging and goes well beyond the syllabus students cover in class.

This year, a group from Kingsbridge Community College (KCC) were amongst the winners.

A spokesperson from KCC said: “Winning an award is an outstanding achievement, especially for our Year 12 students, who had only been studying A-Level Chemistry for one term when they sat the two-hour paper.

“Huge congratulations to our incredible students — we are so proud of each and every one of you.”

Intended to challenge and inspire, the UK Chemistry Olympiad (UKChO) is a unique opportunity for students to push themselves further and excel in scientific fields.
