This year marks Emanuel’s greatest ever achievement in the UKMT Mathematics Challenges.
In the Junior Maths Challenge a record 51 students achieved a Gold Award and an incredible 249 students in Year 6-8 achieved a bronze, silver or gold award. This number was 78 in 2019 and this shows the growth of mathematics at Emanuel over the past 5 years. Only the top 50% of students who sit the paper obtain a certificate, so this is a remarkable effort.
In the Intermediate Maths challenge, Farhan (Year 10) continued his phenomenal success in the Olympiad rounds achieving a merit award, which places him towards the top of his year group in the country.
Flora, Marie and Zara in Year 10 continue the contingent of outstanding young women mathematicians coming through the school, all achieving merits in the Kangaroo competition.
It is a really exciting time for mathematics at Emanuel and we wish those who qualified for the Junior Mathematics Olympiad and Kangaroo the best of luck in the next round.
Mr Bishop, Head of Mathematics
