Maths competition 2026
It was great to see so many Y5 and Y6 pupils compete in the Team Selection Quiz for a place in the Quiz Club Inter Schools Maths Competition. Evie, George, Henry, Leo, Max, Noah, Otis and Raffy were selected to represent the school. Both teams of four worked incredibly hard to prepare for the competition with Evie, Henry, Noah and Otis making it through to the semi-final. The questions were extremely challenging with questions well beyond the KS2 Maths curriculum. Both teams worked impressively well under time pressure and we are very proud of them. Well done!
Special thanks to Peter Graham and Sara Branscomb for all their help and mathematical brilliance in preparing the teams.
Primary Maths Challenge 2025
Children in Y5 and Y6 took part in the Primary Maths Challenge. This is national Maths challenge where children participate individually to complete 25 maths questions of increasing difficulty. Special mention to David Furman who made it through to the Bonus Round. Well done David!
Maths competition 2025
Huge congratulations to Adriana, George, Leo, Max Branscomb, Max Haynes and Raffy who competed in this year’s Quiz Club Inter School Maths championship. They made it through the Area Heat to the Semi Final and then into the online Final! Unfortunately the team was reduced to just two – Max and George – for the final so they were really up against it as the questions were very complex multi step problems and needed a bigger team to be able to help solve the various parts in the time they had. They did the school proud and I was so impressed with the challenging questions they cheerfully solved under the pressure of a ticking countdown timer! A massive well done to all the team for their hard work. I have high hopes for next year!
