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!
