Celebrating success in UK Maths Challenge

At Bridgewater School, we place great importance on problem-solving, challenging ourselves and achieving academic excellence. Earlier this year, selected pupils from across various year groups took part in the Intermediate and Junior Maths Challenges – national 60-minute, 25-multiple choice exams designed to challenge students from schools around the country. These exams encourage mathematical reasoning, precision of thought, and the application of maths in creative and innovative ways.

We are incredibly proud of all the students who participated in these challenges. Their hard work and dedication to mathematics have led to some outstanding achievements. Congratulations to all who were awarded certifications in recognition of their success, with special mentions to Artemis Pang (Year 11) and Avalyn Parker (Year 8) for being the best in the school, and to Hari Basu (Year 10), Charlie Gerrard (Year 7) and Alexander Cleland (Prep V) for accomplishing the best results in their respective year groups.
