We are delighted to share some extraordinary results from our students in this year's UK Mathematics Trust Senior Maths Challenge! The Senior Maths Challenge is designed for students up to Year 13, making it a particularly demanding competition for our students, who are currently in Years 7 and 9.
Ten of our pupils achieved certificates: 6 Gold and 4 Silver awards! Particularly impressive is the achievement of a Silver award by one of our Year 7 students, competing against students who may be up to six years older.
One of our students has qualified for the prestigious British Mathematical Olympiad Round 1 (BMO1), while our other five Gold award winners have been invited to participate in the Senior Kangaroo follow-on competition.
These are remarkable achievements for such young mathematicians, especially given the depth of mathematical reasoning and problem-solving demanded by the competition.
At 1729, we encourage our students to embrace challenging mathematics, explore unfamiliar problems and develop the confidence to think deeply and independently. These results are a wonderful reflection of that spirit. Huge congratulations to all eleven students who chose to challenge themselves. We are immensely proud of you!
