On Tuesday 4th October, 38 of our pupils in Years 10-13 participated in the Senior Mathematics Challenge, organised by the United Kingdom Mathematics Trust. The Senior Mathematics Challenge is addressed to pupils in Year 13 and below with the aim to promote the love for problem solving and encourage mathematical reasoning, precision of thought, and fluency.
All our pupils enjoyed taking part in the Challenge and we are looking forward to hearing about their performances soon. Last year 80% of all the pupils who participated were awarded either a Gold, a Silver or a Bronze certificate in the Senior Mathematics Challenge, having set an excellent example to be followed!
After the coming half term break, we invite pupils from Year 11 and below to participate in the Intermediate Mathematics Challenge that will take place on Wednesday February 1st. And later on in the year our young Mathematicians from Years 8 and below can sign up to participate in the Junior Mathematics Challenge which this year will take place on April 26th.
We congratulate all our pupils for their participation and their efforts, while special congratulations go to Xinyi Hu and Yifei Wang who were both qualified for the Hamilton Olympiad last year.
