International Chemistry Olympiad for UK Upper Sixth Students
Each year the Royal Society of Chemistry organises the selection of the UK team for this event, which is open to UK upper sixth students. The first round consists of a written paper taken in School.
Round 1 is challenging written test of chemical knowledge, and quite an event in itself! Gold, silver, bronze and commendation certificates are awarded and prizes are given to the top 50 performers.
The questions posed in Round 1 often stimulate much debate on, and enthusiasm for, chemistry - raising awareness of what the subject is all about. Tackling the Round 1 paper also provides a good opportunity to develop some of the skills required for study at university and beyond.
Congratulations to the following boys, studying A2 Chemistry here at NHS, who competed in Round 1 of the event this year:
