UK Junior Maths Challenge

Academy students have taken part in the UK Junior Maths Challenge. The UK Mathematics Trust (UKMT) is a registered charity whose aim is to advance the education of children and young people in mathematics.

The UKMT organises national mathematics competitions and other mathematical enrichment activities for 11-18 year old UK school pupils. They were established in 1996 and last academic year over 600,000 pupils from 4000 schools took part in the three individual challenges, the UK's biggest national maths competitions.



Here are some quotes from the children that got involved:
Daniel (silver and best in school) – "It was hard but I enjoyed it."
Daniel (bronze) – "I enjoyed the challenge, I found it hard but am glad I did it."
Rachel (bronze) – "Parts of it were hard but some parts were easy."
Amanda (bronze) – "I found some questions hard but I am happy with a bronze."
Jamie (bronze) – "It was quite hard but fun because it was challenging."
Connie (bronze) – "It seemed quite hard but was a good experience."
