Earlier this year, 12 students took on The UK Chemistry Olympiad – a gruelling two‑hour exam that goes well beyond A Level Chemistry!
This year’s questions covered everything from the chemistry of urine in swimming pools to stinky isocyanides, henna tattoos and even the chemistry behind pilaf rice.
With record numbers of students entering nationally, making grade boundaries more competitive than ever, we are delighted that 11 Huish students have received awards now that the final results are in:
Year 2 Students
- Silver Awards (top 33% nationally): Jacob Huntley, Abaigh McConnell
- Gold Awards (top 8% nationally): Sasha Movchan, Evie Titley, Imalya Warnasuriya
Year 1 Students
- Bronze Awards: Hargun Kaur, Bea Liebert, Sophie Hill, Rhys Davies White
- Silver Award: Molly Price (placed in the top 20% of Year 2 students nationally)
- Gold Award: Noah Greenhoff (who achieved the highest overall score, placing him in the top 1% of Year 2 students nationally)
Huge congratulations to all involved for putting yourselves forward, and for the resilience and determination you have shown by completing the exam!
