On Wednesday 31st January, twenty-eight Year 9 and thirty Year 10 students took part in the UKMT Intermediate Maths Challenge. This involved completing 25 challenging maths questions on many different topics intended to showcase their problem-solving skills. Pupils were competing against students at a high level in Year 9, 10 and 11 across the country. This is an annual challenge which Stewards has participated in for many years, and once again the pupils have done us incredibly proud. This challenge is extremely difficult as students must apply excellent mathematical thinking in order to find the solutions. Special mentions go to Zack Van Der Merwe who achieved the ‘Best in Year’ award and Daisy O’Dell who achieved ‘Best in School’. Due to Daisy’s extraordinary performance, she has qualified for the follow-on round and will soon compete in the Pink Kangaroo challenge. Congratulations Daisy, this is a huge achievement and you have done Stewards proud! Next up is the Junior challenge for Years 7 & 8. We will keep you updated on how they get on and hopefully more award news to follow. Our pupils showed great resilience throughout the challenge which is reflected in the fantastic results. Well done everyone!
