On Friday 29th June, our Y12 chemists visited Imery’s laboratories in Par.

Imery’s is a world leader in the research and development of mineral applications, including kaolin and the use of bi-cell fossils in cutting edge filtration systems.

They also have advanced technologies including electron microscopes, which can cost up to £400,000!

Director of Science, Mr Saundry, said “It’s great for our students to see actual working chemical labs and the application of the knowledge they have been learning during their A Level chemistry course. Imery’s is an international company with amazing facilities in the local area, so it is great to show our students where chemistry can take them and the exciting opportunities available to them locally and across the world”.
