UK Mathematics Trust Junior Maths Challenge

Congratulations to all pupils in Year 8 and Year 9 who participated in the recent 'UK Mathematics Trust Junior Maths Challenge’. Over 300,000 pupils took part in the nationwide competition, with the top 25% of entrants receiving either a Gold, Silver or Bronze Award.

Special mention to the School's four Gold Award winners: Lucas Dickson (8R), Emma Magowan (9R), Sam Young (9S) and Maia Ross (9E). Only the top 8% of candidates are awarded the Gold Award and these pupils should be very proud of their achievement.

Emma Magowan and Sam Young have also qualified for the more challenging 'Junior Kangaroo' competition, to be held in June. With only 3% of entrants qualifying for this competition, this puts them amongst the top mathematicians in the UK.

Well done to all of the above on their superb achievements!
