A team of two Shells, one Remove and one Fifth Former demonstrated impeccable problem-solving abilities and knowledge to win the national finals of the Royal Society of Chemistry's Top of the Bench competition.

The theme for this year's event was the Periodic Table, celebrating the 150th anniversary of the table in 2019 - which was when the initial heats began.

Congratulations to Rishaad Bhushan , Penn Behagg, Henry Webster  and Aum Amin. Chemistry Master, Dr Dean Holt, said: "The boys put a lot into this competition, giving up breaks and lunchtimes to coach each other on chemical concepts. They all deserve enormous credit for their efforts."
