Transform your Year 12, S5, or 5th Year chemistry students into real-world analytical scientists with the Schools’ Analyst Competition—an exciting, hands-on challenge that brings analytical chemistry directly into your school laboratory.

This nationwide competition empowers students across England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and the Republic of Ireland to tackle authentic industrial and societal problems through practical experiments, including titrations, chromatographic separations, and gravimetric analysis. What makes this competition truly accessible is that you can host it right in your own lab using standard school equipment, with all specialised standards, samples, and comprehensive safety guidance provided by us—plus bursaries available for schools needing support with consumables.
How to apply
By registering your school, you’re not just entering a competition—you’re giving your students the chance to discover their aptitude for analytical science, expand their practical skills beyond the standard curriculum, and potentially ignite a passion for chemistry careers.
