To support their studies and reinforce their learning, A-Level Mathematics students in Years 12 and 13 have competed in the annual UKMT Senior Team Maths challenge. This is a prestigious competition which encourages teamwork whilst solving non-routine maths problems.

Our Sixth Formers look forward to taking part in the competition each year, and always enjoy testing their mathematical ability against young mathematicians from other schools.

This year, students competed both as a team and on an individual level with great success. Euan E won Best in Year for Year 13, and Alex P swept the rest of the categories winning a Bronze certificate, Best in Year for Year 12, and Best in School.

Not only is participation in the competition an excellent way to test new knowledge and skills outside of the classroom, but these accolades are also an impressive addition to any CV and personal statement, and a talking point for interviews.
