UKMT Junior Maths Challenge

From Assistant Head of Maths, Ms Williams:

“At the beginning of last half term, it was great to see such a strong turnout from our Year 7 and Year 8 students for the UKMT Junior Challenge, with a record number taking part this year. The competition offers a variety of engaging mathematical problems designed to promote logical thinking and problem-solving skills. Well done to all students who participated and embraced the challenge with enthusiasm.

We are delighted to celebrate this year’s impressive results. Our students achieved 11 Gold, 14 Silver, and 11 Bronze certificates, along with 16 participation awards. Special congratulations go to Edwin S and Rowan W (Year 7), and Gabriella E, Abigail G, George W, and Victory A (Year 8), who all attained outstanding scores and have therefore qualified for the next stage of the competition, the Junior Kangaroo, taking place on Tuesday 9th June.

A final special mention goes to Sam O’T (Year 8), who achieved an exceptional score of 129 out of 135, earning a place in the Junior Olympiad. This is a remarkable accomplishment – very well done!”
