This week we received the outstanding results of our year 7 and 8 students in the recent UKMT Junior Maths Challenge. We once again demonstrated our exceptional talent and dedication to mathematics, with students achieving remarkable results in this prestigious competition.
The UKMT Junior Maths Challenge is an annual event designed to stimulate mathematical thinking and problem-solving skills among young students. It attracts participants from across the nation, and its challenging problems test students’ logical reasoning and mathematical abilities.
Our students displayed exceptional talent, showcasing their ability to apply mathematical concepts to real-world scenarios. Their performances are a testament to their hard work, perseverance, and passion for mathematics. They embraced the challenge with enthusiasm and demonstrated their problem-solving prowess, proving that they are among the brightest young mathematicians in the country.
We are proud to announce that several of our year 7 and 8 students have achieved remarkable success in the competition. Ben C, James B, Umor C, Stephen D, Oliver D, Harry G, Toby M, Lazlo L, Andrew S, Constantine V, Thomas W, Tianyi X and Felix Y achieved a bronze certificate. Ammar F, Kevin L and Zaryab R achieved a silver certificate placing them in the top 20% of students nationally. A special mention goes to Ibrahim A and Amaan H, who secured the prestigious gold certificate, placing them among the top-performing students in the nation. This is an incredible achievement and a testament to their exceptional mathematical abilities.
They have now sat the next round of the competition, called the Kangaroo Challenge, this week. We wish them the best of luck in this advanced stage of the competition and look forward to hearing their results in the coming weeks.
It is also important to acknowledge that the UKMT Junior Maths Challenge is about more than just certificates.
