UK Mathematics Challenge -  The UKMT mathematical challenge offers an opportunity for our talented mathematicians to shine on a school and national level. The Junior (year 8) and Intermediate (years 9, 10,11) maths challenges lead to bronze, silver and gold certificates of merit for the top entrants and progression into the European Kangaroo championships. We have had great success at all levels.
