Around 60 year 7 and 8 students recently took part in the Junior Maths Challenge, a national competition which challenges students to solve some demanding maths problems. Overall, there were 23 students who earned an achievement certificate – 13 Bronze (top 50% nationally), 7 Silver (top 25% nationally) and 3 Gold (top 8% nationally!).

Two of our year 8 students, Hugo and Alice, also performed well enough to qualify for an even more challenging follow-on round to take place in June – this achievement puts them in the top 5% of students nationally who took part in the challenge.

Well done to all and good luck to Hugo and Alice!
