Maths Challengers

A large cohort of our Maths students this week took part in the UKMT Senior Mathematics Challenge, a prestigious national competition designed to test advanced problem-solving skills and mathematical reasoning. The challenge, open to students in Year 13 and below, presents a series of complex, non-routine questions that require creativity and deep mathematical thinking.

This year, we entered students from both Lower 6th and Upper 6th, in addition to two highly capable pupils from 4th Year and one from 5th Year. Each demonstrating keen mathematical aptitude and a willingness to engage with the demanding nature of the challenge.

We are now eagerly awaiting the results, which will determine how they performed. We are hopeful that some may qualify for the follow-on rounds, including the Senior Kangaroo or the British Mathematical Olympiad, both of which are designed for the highest achievers from the initial competition. These rounds provide further opportunities for our students to engage with advanced mathematical problems and showcase their talents on a national stage.

We will keep you posted!
