Girls excel in Mathematical Olympiad

A huge well done to the Sixth Formers who recently took part in the Mathematical Olympiad for Girls. 

Girls were specially selected to take part in the competition and achieved excellent results, including six distinctions.

Congratulations to the following girls, three of whom are pictured:

• Maya Swift (U6BRD) – Best in School
• Alice Downey (L6WER) – Best in Year
• Angela Yang (L6GRO)
• Bianca Enache (L6BRD)
• Freya Kimmance (L6WAL)
• Annabel Swift (U6BRD)
• Eila O’Connor (U6LES)

The Mathematical Olympiad for Girls is organised by the UK Maths Trust and is aimed at girls and young women across the UK. The competition consists of five challenging problems, all of which require advanced problem solving and mathematical skills.  

Deputy Head of Maths, Mrs Sugarman, entered the girls for the competition and was very impressed with their results. 

She said: “We have some very talented mathematicians in the Sixth Form and they really enjoyed challenging themselves in this competition. They should be very proud of the excellent results they achieved as this competition requires them to use advanced skills.”
