In May, we had 127 students from years 7 and 8 take part in the United Kingdom Mathematics Trust Junior Challenge. The Junior Mathematical Challenge is a 60-minute, multiple choice challenge. It encourages mathematical reasoning, precision of thought, and fluency in using basic mathematical techniques to solve interesting problems.
The students have performed brilliantly and have represented themselves and Tiverton High School admirably. We have had a total of 29 students achieve a bronze certificate, 12 students achieve a silver certificate, and 2 students achieve a gold certificate. Additionally, 1 students has qualified for the subsequent Junior Kangaroo Challenge. The Maths department commemorated these achievements with a celebration breakfast for all the certificate winners. Congratulations to everyone!

Holly A – Gold Certificate – Best in Year 8/Best in school – Qualified for the subsequent challenge
James H – Gold Certificate
Isabelle P – Silver Certificate – Best in Year 7
