The year 13 chemistry students took part in the UK Chemistry Olympiad this year. This is a chemistry competition run by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) which is designed to challenge and inspire chemistry students and also to develop their critical thinking skills. The following students participated in round one of the 58th annual competition: Enioluwa Olanrewaju, Mitchell Inyang and Aleyna Matnish.
