Our Year 13 participated in the 2025 Chemistry Olympiad. Designed to challenge and inspire, the UK Chemistry Olympiad (UKChO) is a unique opportunity for students to push themselves further and excel in the chemistry field. Students had the chance to develop critical problem-solving skills, learn to think more creatively and get a chance to test their knowledge in new, real-world situations.
The first challenge for students was designed to test chemical knowledge through a written test with real-world chemistry problems. This stage often stimulates a lot of debate and conversation around what chemistry is all about, so it was a great opportunity for our students to develop and showcase some of the skills they’ll need at university and beyond.
WMG students performed phenomenally well at this tournament, with Michael achieving a Silver Award, and Chiyedza achieving a Bronze award. Other 3 students were only one mark away from a Bronze award. Congratulations to everyone involved!
