Students excel in UKMT Maths challenge

A number of our Sixth Form students recently took part in the United Kingdom Mathematics Trust (UKMT) Senior Mathematical Challenge.

This national competition is open to students in Year 13 and below, and requires competitors to complete a 90-minute, multiple-choice challenge, designed to encourage mathematical reasoning, precision of thought, and fluency in using basic mathematical techniques to solve interesting problems. The problems on the Intermediate Mathematical Challenge are intended to make students think.

We’re delighted that so many of our students were so successful. Special congratulations go to Sam C (Y12), Dylan C (Y12) and James F (Y13), who all achieved the Gold Award, and will progress on to the Andrew Jobbings Kangaroo Challenge later this month.

As well as the Gold Awards, a number of our students also achieved Silver and Bronze awards.

Silver Award:

Edward W, Aneesh C, Harry P, Jake Barral, Nathanael C, Ella H, Melike D, Dylan C, Evie O, George T, Ethan H, Alexander I and Ryan M.

Bronze Award:

Charlie G, Max H, Olivia O, Mario V-S, Ali K, Dawid D, Lily G, Jacob B, Ewan M, Emma W, Charlie C, Jonah M, Joshua A, Caitlin O, Jake F, Harry A, Marisa K and Elliot A.

This is an outstanding achievement for our students, as they were competing against Y13s from across the country. Many congratulations to all those who took part in the challenge.
