On Friday the 24th February we welcomed our five feeder middle schools for a Year 7 masterclass in maths. Each school was represented by two teams of four.

The competition consisted of 5 rounds of different mathematical skills and had to be completed within a strict time limit. All the groups worked wonderfully well; especially the team aspect of trying to complete their tasks.

The day ran so  smoothly  thanks  to  the  assistance from our A level maths students. They were paired with the teams from each school and practically ran the event for the maths department. Such an amazing bunch of students that made their teachers proud.

Both teams from Linslade Middle finished in the top 3, but it was a team from Gilbert Inglefield Academy that finished as the eventual winners – well done!
