Four keen chemists from Greenshaw High School competed in the Royal Society of Chemistry Top of the Bench Competition at Charterhouse School last week.

They competed against seven schools – most of which were independent, boarding or selective. Each competitor had to complete a practical experiment: Vishnu (Year 11) was conducting a titration, Valentin (Year 10) was measuring rate of reaction and Ksenia and Ananya (Year 9) had to determine reactivity trends of metals. Each student then sat a 30 minute test and their scores were collated. They scored over 100 points out of 125, putting them in third place. This was a superb result, especially when they were up against such extremely tough competition.

Congratulations to the team – they should be very proud of their amazing achievement.
