Primary Maths Challenge Success

Mr Budden, Assistant Head, Head of Mathematics & Director of STEM

11th May 2023

Recently, nine boys took part in the Primary Maths Challenge Bonus Round, having qualified through the first round in November. The complexity of the questions reached a new level as the boys had to apply a wide range of mathematical knowledge to questions designed to try to catch them out. Working at a level considerably beyond what is expected of the boys in Year 5 and Year 6, our representatives did themselves proud.

They did so well, in fact, that four of them earned themselves a Silver Award: Malin W, Ben H, Freddie C and Leo F-G.

However, Jack C went one better and achieved the hugely impressive Gold Award. These are very rare indeed and this is the first time I have ever awarded one, so huge congratulations to Jack!
