On 7th February, four Sixth Form students entered the National Final of the Senior Maths Team Challenge held in London. The team consisted of two year 13 students, Boris Andrews and Andrew Atkinson and two year 12 students, Holly Williams and Zain Shah. The challenge consisted of 4 rounds: a set of 10 group questions; a cross number (a mathematical crossword); a relay and, finally, a poster competition. Over 1200 schools took part in the regional finals held before Christmas, competing for a place in the national final. Our team came 74th out of 88 teams. It is a great achievement once again for our school to reach the national final of this academic competition.
