A host of gold, silver and bronze awards for our keen problem solvers

The UK Mathematical Trust (the UKMT) promotes mathematical problem solving for gifted and talented students across the UK. One of its challenges is the Intermediate Challenge aimed at students up to Year 11. In this unusual year, the UKMT has managed to transform its assessments into an online format. Whilst impressive, it gives an additional hurdle for students to overcome whilst they themselves have been away from school. We were therefore delighted that 44 students, in Year 9 through to Year 11, chose to enter the challenge in February.
Three students achieved the prestigious Gold Award, Emma, Toby and Cora, all Year 11 students, with Cora gaining the highest score for the school. A further eleven students were awarded Silver and thirteen students received Bronze.
Notable awards were Theo from Year 9 who gained a Silver Award, achieving the best score in his year, and Natalie, in Year 10, who was also awarded Silver and had the best score in her year.
