"Top of the Bench" Regional Heat

RSC “Top of the Bench” competition for KS3 and KS4 students

The North Staffordshire Local Section Committee of the Royal Society of Chemistry will again this year be hosting a regional heat for the RSC “Top of the Bench” competition aimed at KS3 and KS4 students. The competition is designed to encourage and reward high achievement and is an excellent opportunity to showcase talent in the local area. The winners of the regional heat will progress to the National Final to be held in Loughborough on Saturday 25th April 2015.  For further details please see the attached flyer.

How do I enter?

Each team should be made up of the following:

·         2 students from year 9

·         1 student from year 10

·         1 student from year 11

Team members must be in these school years for the heats and the National Final.  In order to widen participation we ask that only students that have not taken part in the competition previously are nominated.  

To enter a team (or teams) of students please contact me by email [sue "at" sunnycroft "dot" plus "dot" com] to receive a question pack.  The question pack should be completed and returned by 1^st December, giving your participants plenty of time to complete the questions.  Successful teams will be invited to the regional final to be held on Saturday January 24^th 2015 at Keele University.

If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch.
