Fifteen Year 7 students enjoyed an exciting maths trip to the University of Warwick on 14th April 2026, joining pupils from two other middle schools for a day of discovery and challenge. The visit gave students a fantastic opportunity to experience university life while engaging in hands-on mathematical activities. Working alongside undergraduate students, they tackled complex and thought-provoking tasks, including investigations into Möbius strips. The group also took part in a lively and engaging Maths Roadshow, which brought mathematical concepts to life in fun and interactive ways. One of the highlights of the day was the symmetry triangle challenges, where students tested their problem-solving and teamwork skills. In addition to the academic activities, students were given a tour of the campus, offering a glimpse into university study and accommodation. They particularly enjoyed seeing how students live and learn, leaving many feeling inspired about their own future pathways.
