On Wednesday 24th June 3 Year 12 Chemistry students, Faiz Fazaluddin, Rosie McMahon, and Harry Smith, travelled to University of Bristol to take part in the South West (North) Regional Year 12 Analytical Chemistry Competition.

They were given several experiments to run, using equipment that they were familiar with and also some new equipment and techniques, as well as a quiz. All three had a fantastic time and worked well together under time pressure.

In the afternoon they were treated to a fun but informative lecture demonstration on the gases in the atmosphere.

15 schools entered, including Cheltenham College, Cheltenham Ladies College, Wycliffe, Bristol Grammar School, KES Bath, Blundells, Sidcot and Exeter School. We were very proud to come second place behind Sidcot School and beating some very good schools and pupils in the process.

Well done to Faiz, Rosie and Harry.
