Former King’s pupil Adam Davies has obtained the highest mark in the 2011 GCE A-Level Chemistry examinations in the country. The Royal Society of Chemistry awarded Adam a £100 cheque, a certificate, a chemistry book as well as a letter congratulating him on his outstanding achievement. It recognises the hard work that he and his teachers had put in preparing for the exam. Adam is currently studying Medicine at St John's College, Cambridge.

The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) is the largest organisation in Europe for advancing the chemical sciences and supporter of chemistry education in the UK. They strive to modernise curricula and work closely with the UK government, subject associations, professional bodies and learned societies to ensure a coherent approach to science education.

Chris Ramsey, Head Master of The King’s School said: “We would like to congratulate Adam on achieving this prestigious award. It really is an outstanding achievement. “
