Young chemists have been awarded for their participation in the prestigious Cambridge Chemistry Challenge.
Students from Sir John Deane’s sat the challenging 90-minute paper earlier this year, with 39 students successful in achieving Gold, Silver and Copper standard certificates
Set by a team of university chemists, the competition aims to stretch and challenge students studying chemistry, taking them significantly beyond the A level syllabus.
Laurence Potts, Head of Chemistry ant Sir John Deane’s, said: “This competition is renowned for it’s difficulty, so to receive an award reflects the genuine enthusiasm and ambition our students have in the subject beyond their A level studies.”
Three students from the college, Cole Brautigam, Sian Baird and Toby Oliver, were amongst the UK’s highest scorers achieving Gold certificates, placing them in the top 10% nationally.
