A team of students from Highgate School, London, overcame strong competition from a field of 27 teams to take first prize at this year's Top of the Bench national final, held in April at the Science Museum and Imperial College in London. Charlie Bruce, Jack Saville, David Ooi and Max Jamilly (pictured right) pipped a team from Bishop Wordsworth's School, Salisbury, to win the Top of the Bench trophy and a £500 cheque for their school to spend on scientific equipment. Clementine Chambon from the European School of Brussels II received the Jacqui Clee award for her outstanding contribution on the day.
