United Kingdom Mathematics Trust – Junior Mathematical Challenge 2024

On Thursday 25th April, it was time for our Year 7 and 8 pupils to take on the yearly challenge of the UKMT Junior Mathematics Challenge 2024.

This national event takes the form of a multiple-choice quiz based on using mathematical skills learnt in lessons to solve problems.

Over 4000 schools across the UK take part in this event and the standard of participation is high, only the best achieving students can receive an award, and to do so is recognition of the effort and ability of our students.

After good showings from previous year groups in their respective challenges last year, expectations were very high and I am proud to announce that this year the results were our best ever with our highest ever number of pupils receiving awards.

This year’s prize winners are as follows:

Cherlotte Y (Year 8) – Best in School, Best in Year 8 and Gold award

Lucy R (Year 8) – Gold award

Hannah R (Year 7) – Best in Year 7 and Silver award

Silver awards were achieved by the following:

(Year 7) Karma A, Heidi A, Gauri-Radha C, Amelia N, Violet C, Bella P, Veronica K and Hollie I.

(Year 8) Georgia B, Eva P, Lily H, Ruby M, Klara B, Ava T, Safaa D, Emily T, Laila B, Charlotte T, Isabella F, Maryam H, Julia M, Sophia W and Jenya Z.
