ChemQuiz, organised by the RSC’s Manchester and District Section and sponsored by BASF plc, aims to be a fun and engaging way to promote chemistry among students, with prizes awarded for various aspects of the day.

James Allen, Headmaster at Beech Hall School, commented: “We are incredibly proud of our gifted chemists Bea Adams, Thain Mackintosh, Jacob Inwood and James Irwin. The team admirably represented the school, and were triumphant in achieving a win against some of the most promising chemistry students in Greater Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire.

“Our small class sizes enable us to provide individual attention to each of our pupils, ensuring that the environment is one in which they excel and thrive in, regardless of their academic abilities. The remarkable results our pupils achieved in this prestigious RSC challenge is testament to this.”
