Congratulations to our students who have been selected to compete in the West Midlands regional final for the Royal Society of Chemistry Top of the Bench Competition. Two students in the Upper Fourth, Gracia and Sundeep, will compete with Lauren from the Lower Fifth and Catherine from the Upper Fifth at the brand new Collaborative Teaching Laboratory at the University of Birmingham. The students achieved their place as one of the top ten teams in the previous qualifying round. The team will have the chance to demonstrate their Chemistry knowledge in a written quiz as well as a practical challenge. Good luck to everyone!
The great Easter Debate: a sweet, chaotic showdown
If you were expecting a serious, well-structured debate at this year’s Easter debate, you were in for a surprise. What unfolded was less of a formal argument and more of a theatrical masterpiece – complete with flying chocolate, wild accusations and a speaker who somehow turned it into a human rights campaign for sugar.
