National Maths Challenge Success for Heritage Pupils

Brilliant mathematicians in Years 6, 9, 10 and 11 were awarded certificates in the Mathematical Association’s Primary and Intermediate Maths Challenges this year.

On 29th January, Years 9 – 11 took part in the Intermediate Maths Challenge, a national competition of very stretching and engaging questions. Nationally, the top 50% of participants are awarded certificates. For Heritage, we are delighted that 63% of entries received certificates, with 14 awarded ‘Bronze’, 8 ‘Silver’ and 4 ‘Gold’. Nationally, the top 8% of participants receive ‘Gold’, so particular congratulations goes to our Gold certificate winners: Idris and Dylan in Year 10, plus Sandy and Maxim in Year 11.

Back in November, the Year 6 class entered the Primary Maths Challenge with high scoring James and Norah doing very well to be invited through to the bonus round this February; an opportunity for the most able mathematicians to extend and challenge their maths skills. They both received a certificate for their achievement, which Mrs Watkins presented to them in Assembly, with James winning a ‘Silver’ award in the bonus round.
