RGS Chemists Celebrate Success in Cambridge Challenge

Upper Sixth Form Chemists were celebrating this term having received their certificates from the annual Cambridge Chemistry Challenge they entered last term. There were 11 medal winners which is superb (medals were only awarded to the top 30% of 15,000 entrants nationally). The students sat a challenging written paper with a myriad of extended questions on topic areas such as the Chemistry of Boron and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance as applied to Alkene molecules

Aryan Peddareddy deserves a special mention for his outstanding Gold award, which placed him in the top 10% of all entrants. The full list of medal winners is below:

Aryan Peddareddy – Gold

Sophia Nancarrow – Silver

Lottie Boeckx – Silver

Noah Dunnett -Silver

Thomas Newman – Bronze

Ben Brierley – Bronze

A very well done to all for your achievements in this national competition. Very well done!
