It all adds up to maths success

Congratulations to our Removes and Shells who all took part in this year’s UK Mathematical Trust (UKMT) Junior Mathematical Challenge, achieving an impressive total of 112 certificates. 

The Junior Mathematical Challenge is a 60-minute maths challenge that encourages mathematical reasoning, precision of thought and fluency. Featuring 25 questions that get increasingly harder, the challenge is accessible to everyone whilst challenging those with more experience.
