A Fife school pupil has been honoured for being one of the top performing candidates in 2022 National 5 Chemistry SQA exam.

Claire McNab, who attends Auchmuty High School in Glenrothes, received the recognition from the Royal Society of Chemistry.

The S5 pupil had one of the best marks in Scotland for the exam, and was presented with her award by the organisation.

Claire, who is now studying the subject at Higher level, said: ‘I am very grateful to receive such a prestigious award.. My hard work has paid off, though I wouldn't have achieved it without the support from my chemistry teacher, Dr McConnachie, and the continued encouragement from Auchmuty High School.’
