Junior Mathematical Challenge 2023

On Wednesday 26th February, it was time for our Year 7 and 8 students to take on the annual national challenge of the UKMT Junior Mathematics Challenge 2023.

Years 7 and 8 students answer a multiple-choice quiz based on mathematical skills learnt in lessons to problem solve.

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 up there with our recent best. The Year 7 cohort put in a particularly good effort, receiving a large number of bronze awards.

This year’s prize winners are as follows:

Cherlotte Y (Year 7) – Best in School, Best in Year 7 and Gold award

Isabella N (Year 7) – Gold award

Emily W (Year 8) – Best in Year 8 and Silver award

Silver awards were achieved by the following:

(Year 7) Laila B, Charlotte T, Ruby M and Emily T.

Bronze awards were achieved by the following:

(Year 8) Grace I, Maisie K, Marnie D, Hana S, Maisie B, Emelia W, Poppy M, Fatima S, Evie F, Holly L, Jessica O, Grace A, Syeda A, Lily S, Tanisha S, Daisy L, Isabella S, Naomi S, Helena M, Unaisah B, Hettie C and Amber P.

(Year 7) Aaminah B, Phoebe M, Faye N, Freya G, Susannah K, Ayra K, Hannah B, Phillipa M, Abigail W, Sophie W, Phoebe B, Lilah C, Beatrix W, Amelia C, Jennifer Z, Emily H, Esme F and Eva P.

Congratulations to everybody involved.

The department is already looking forward to seeing what each year group can do in their challenges next year!
