A group of our Year 7 and Year 8 pupils took part in the UKMT Maths Challenge, a national competition that encourages students to think deeply and apply their mathematical reasoning and problem solving skills.
The challenge gave pupils a mix of tricky, unfamiliar problems that really made them think, spot patterns, and apply their skills in new ways. It was great to see their resilience and enthusiasm as they worked through the questions. We are incredibly proud of all the pupils who took part. Representing the school in a national competition is a great achievement, and they should feel very pleased with their efforts and commitment.
We are delighted to announce that 29 pupils achieved Bronze awards, 11 achieved Silver awards, and an outstanding 4 pupils were awarded Gold.
A special mention must go to Tilly, who has successfully qualified for the next stage of the competition — the Junior Kangaroo. This is a fantastic accomplishment and reflects her dedication and mathematical talent.
We are incredibly proud of all pupils who took part and commend them for their hard work, resilience, and enthusiasm for mathematics.
