Four chemistry students at Shropshire’s renowned international school have achieved an impressive feat – coming amongst only 70 winners of the highest award in a Cambridge University chemistry challenge.
A total of 45 Concord College students are today celebrating success in the challenge, securing an impressive 21 gold awards which put them in the top 15 per cent. There were nine silver and 11 copper successes as well.The Roentgenium winners from Acton Burnell-based Concord were Jerry, 18, Kevin, 17, Thomas, 17, and Hayden, 16, who were invited to a residential camp at St Catherine’s College .
For Hayden, 16, who was in form 5 – Year 11 – when the competition took place, the motivation was to beat his previous score. “I got a silver in form 4, so I thought I’d give it another go this year and see if I could get anything better.” “I really enjoyed the practicals in the workshop as they helped me improve my experiment planning and strategic thinking skills. I also liked the teaching labs and the equipment in Cambridge,” he said.
