Chemistry Cambridge Challenge 2025

This term, a group of 20 keen Year 12 chemists participated in the prestigious Cambridge Chemistry Challenge (C3L6), a 90-minute two-question exam designed by the University of Cambridge's chemistry department. Aimed at stretching KS5 Chemistry thinking, the challenge encourages students to apply problem-solving skills well beyond standard exam topics.

Certificates are awarded to the top 60% of participants across the UK, with distinctions as Copper (top 30%), Silver (top 20%), and Gold (top 10%).

Our Students’ Outstanding Achievements:

  • 4 Gold 
  • 10 Silver
  • 6 Copper

Well done for taking on a challenge that stretches well beyond the syllabus. Your results are testament to resilience, dedication, and a genuine love of chemistry.  Whether you’re celebrating gold, silver, or copper, be proud of what you’ve achieved, and carry that same spirit into your future studies!
