Named after Ludvig Mond, the 19th-century chemist with strong local connections, the tournament is designed to test students’ problem-solving skills across a wide range of disciplines, including Physics, Biochemistry, Mathematics, and Engineering. Throughout the day, teams were required to think analytically, work collaboratively, and apply their subject knowledge under pressure. Our students rose to the challenge with outstanding enthusiasm, resilience, and teamwork. They demonstrated not only strong academic ability but also excellent communication and leadership skills, embodying exactly what STEM learning is about.

A special congratulations goes to the girls’ team, who achieved the highest Maths score in the entire competition – an exceptional accomplishment and a fantastic example of excellence in action.

Their success is a powerful reminder of the vital role girls play in STEM and the impact of confidence and determination in competitive environments. The day was a brilliant blend of challenge, discovery, and achievement, rounded off perfectly with a well-earned pizza reward. Experiences like this inspire curiosity, build ambition, and help shape the future scientists, engineers, and innovators of tomorrow. An incredibly proud moment for our school and a celebration of what hard work, teamwork, and passion for learning can achieve.
