We are thrilled to share with you the outstanding achievements of our primary students in the recent UKMT Junior Maths Challenge at the end of April. The challenge is a 60-minute, multiple-choice exam designed to encourage mathematical reasoning, precision of thought, and fluency in using basic mathematical techniques to solve interesting problems and is aimed at children in Year 7 and 8.
Twenty of our primary students were selected to participate alongside Year 7 and 8 students and we are proud to announce that our students have performed exceptionally well. In particular, our primary students achieved 6 gold, 5 silver and 4 bronze certificates. What is particularly noteworthy is that one of our Year 6 students, Lalo, outperformed everyone in our school community. His amazing score also meant that he has qualified for the UK Junior Maths Olympiad. The five other primary students who received a gold award have also qualified for the Junior Kangaroo competition. Both of these competitions will take place in June and we eagerly await to hear about their progress in these competitions.
Congratulations to all who took part!
