X/Twitter, it has been a complete pleasure being Head of Chemistry at Victoria College since 2007 and working there since September 2004. I will now hand over the reins, and this account, to Mrs Pallot & Ms Marks. It's been a blast. All the best, Mr Widdop. x

The task was “simple”… I want pure copper(II) chloride in one week’s time. No practical instructions given… just prior knowledge on compound solubilities and the terms excess/limiting reagent. Let’s see how it goes! #practicalskills #CHEMISTRY #igcse

Today we are flying the Braithwaite House flag at half mast to remember Dr Hill who sadly passed away yesterday. Dr Hill joined Victoria College as the Head of Chemistry in 1973, a position he held until his retirement in 1996.
