Students from Years 9 to 11 participated in the regional final of the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Top of the Bench competition after successfully advancing through the preliminary round.
The event took place at the University of Birmingham, bringing together schools from across the West Midlands. It featured a written quiz and a hands-on team challenge in the laboratory, where students used state-of-the-art equipment to push their chemistry skills beyond the classroom curriculum.
In addition to the competition, the students attended an engaging lecture by Professor Tomislav Friščic, Leverhulme International Professor in Green and Sustainable Chemistry, on the wonders of mechanochemistry.
While we await the final scores, we are incredibly proud of our students’ hard work and enthusiasm. They have been awarded well-deserved certificates in recognition of their participation.
