Varndean College students have once again competed in Cambridge University’s annual C3L6 Chemistry Competition and yet again won an impressive array of copper, silver and gold awards.
Thirty-six Varndean students were granted awards; 1 gold, 15 silver and 20 copper. This represented just under 50% of first year International Baccalaureate Diploma students and 63% of first year A Level students.
The competition is open to any UK student in Year 12 (ie first year of sixth form) studying either A Levels or the International Baccalaureate. It takes the form of a 90 minute written paper which students take within college. Students who do well in the competition are sent certificates of achievement (either a copper, silver or gold award), and those who perform best win an invitation to a residential camp at the University of Cambridge at the end of August.
