A team of students from North Halifax Grammar School has won this year's Top of the Bench national final, held at the University of Loughborough, in March. Peter Richardson, Hannah Speed, James Nevison and Emily Whettlock took on 24 teams from around the country, overtaking teams from Northgate Grammar school, Derham in Norfolk (runners up) and Ffynone House School, Swansea (third place) to claim the coveted Frank Halliwell Trophy. The trophy was presented by head of chemistry at Loughborough, Professor Peter Warwick. The winning team also collected gift tokens and a £500 cheque for their school to spend on scientific equipment.
