UKMT Intermediate Maths Challenge Successes

Many congratulations to all the Third, Fourth and Fifth Year pupils who participated in the follow on rounds of the UKMT Intermediate Maths Challenge, which were held just before the Easter Break.

Those who did especially well in the Kangaroos (a multiple choice paper for those who did very well in the original challenge but did not qualify for the Olympiad, which is a gruelling two hour written paper) were Amelie in the Third Year who got Best in Year in the Grey Kangaroo, Antonia in the Fourth Year who got a Merit and Best in Year in the Pink Kangaroo and Matthew in the Fifth Year who got a Merit and Best in School, also in the Pink Kangaroo.

In the Third Year Cayley Olympiad, well done to those who participated. Florence achieved Best in Year, but extra special congratulations go to Rupert who is only in the Second Year, yet achieved a distinction, Best in School, and a Bronze Medal which places him in the top 100 of the country and lands him a book prize.

In the Fourth Year Hamilton Olympiad, Cato and Ian achieved Merits with Cato taking (by one mark) Best in Year.

In the Fifth Year Maclaurin Olympiad Jonathan achieved a Merit, Anastasia a Distinction (missing a Bronze medal by only one mark), and Daniel a Distinction and a Bronze medal (missing a Silver medal by only one mark, placing him in the top 51 or so pupils in the country).

Congratulations from all of us in the Maths Department.
