On May 1st thirty-eight of our students took part in the UKMT Junior Mathematical Challenge.

The Challenge is a 60-minute, multiple-choice paper which encourages mathematical reasoning, precision of thought, and fluency in using basic mathematical techniques to solve interesting problems. The problems on the Junior Mathematical Challenge are designed to make students think. Most are accessible, yet still challenge those with more experience.

All participants have received a certificate of participation. To recognise the highest performers in the Challenge, the top-scoring 50% of participants are awarded Bronze, Silver and Gold certificates. Students that are 'Best in Year' or 'Best in School' have also received a badge to denote this on their certificates. The 2024 award thresholds were:

91+ Gold, 73+ Silver, 54+ Bronze

We congratulate Charlotte, Poppy and Olivia in S1 and Martha, Liyana, Emilia H, Sophie and Aarna in S2 on their Bronze certificate;

Fleur, Rija, Bess, Connie, Grace, Marianna, Esmée and Eryn in S1 and Adwita, Shiuli, Emilia P and Alina in S2 on their Silver certificate;

Isla and Shiyao in S2 on their Gold certificate.
