Mathematicians go for gold

On Wednesday, 29 January, 150 pupils from Thirds, Fourths and Fifths took part in the UK Mathematical Trust (UKMT) Intermediate Maths Challenge. 

The Intermediate Maths Challenge is a 60-minute, multiple-choice competition designed to encourage mathematical reasoning, precision of thought, and fluency in using basic mathematical techniques to solve interesting problems.

Pupils performed very well, with 81 pupils achieving a certificate and seven progressing to the next round.

12 pupils achieved a gold certificate, 26 achieved silver and 43 achieved bronze. 

Congratulations to those who were named best in year; Ralph Pardo-Tuma in Thirds, Joel Thompson in Fourths and Wiktor Lech (pictured below) in Fifths, who was also named best in school.
