The Royal Society of Chemistry Olympiad 2021 has completed, and Year 13 Chemist Lucy Atkin has achieved the silver award, which is an exceptional achievement. To put the result in context, Lucy was in the top 25% of those who took part in this prestigious competition nationally.
Due to the national lockdown, this year’s competition took place remotely on 22 January, with 7160 students from 666 schools sitting the paper at home.
Education executive Chloe Francis, who organises the competition, extended her congratulations and thanks to both teachers and students for their participation: ‘Well done to all students who took part in this year’s Olympiad during a particularly stressful time, and thank you to all the teachers who took the time to facilitate this opportunity for their students during a national lockdown.’
