UKMT Maths Challenge
On 7 November 11 of our keenest Sixth Formers studying A Level Maths took part in the UK Mathematics Trust Challenge. They had to answer 25 multiple choice questions which tested their original thinking. Questions later in the paper were worth more marks but also marks were lost for questions answered incorrectly! Thousands of students took part around the UK and we were very happy to be informed that 5 of these students earned awards (and points for their houses) as follows:
Charlotte Bice SILVER, Mia Barlow BRONZE, Alex Whittall BRONZE, Jess Schofield BRONZE, Emily Humphreys BRONZE.
In addition, On the 22nd November Alex Whittall, Charlotte Bice, Jessica Davies & Elisha Gretton took part in the UKMT Senior maths challenge at Solihull College. After taking part in a series of extremely challenging mathematics problems, amongst them a mathematics crossword, they came a very creditable 11th. The members of the Year 12 team are already planning training sessions to get themselves “match fit” for next year’s challenge.”
