Congratulations to our Year 13 chemists for excelling in the National Olympiad Competition. Our students collectively gained 3 Gold Awards, 5 Silver, and 2 Bronze Awards - this is an exceptional performance.
To give some context, only the most able are entered, and 35% of students entering gain a U grade. Every student entered by Frome College gained a Bronze Award or above. The challenge is work normally covered in the early part of a chemistry degree, and they have undertaken additional preparation work, in the challenging conditions during lockdown to prepare for the competition.
The awards are as follows:
Gold - Charlie Whiting, Brian Kendall, and Kallum Gulliver
Silver - Adam Baker, Evan Williams, Nathan Cummings, Joe Coles, and Sam Evans
Bronze - Tom Leigh and Ben Weyman
Well done to all of them for an outstanding achievement!
I have three children at Frome College, all very different types of learners with different needs. They have all been well supported and well taught with teachers who are caring and committed to their students.
