Each year, more than 250,000 students from over 3000 schools across the UK take part in a series of Maths challenges organised by the UK Mathematics Trust, (UKMT). The aim of the challenges is to encourage mathematical reasoning, precision of thought and fluency in using mathematical techniques to solve interesting problems.
Our Sixth Form students have recently taken part in the Mathematical Olympiad for Girls and we were delighted to hear that Grace in Year 13 had attained a score placing her in the Top 25% of all participants in the Challenge, which is an outstanding achievement. Grace said, "I was surprised and delighted by my results. This has given me a lot of confidence and I am now applying to study Mathematics and Statistics at University"
Miss King, Charters’ UKMT Coordinator said, "We would like to congratulate Grace on her outstanding performance on the recent UKMT Mathematical Olympiad for Girls. She did a fantastic job and achieving a spot in the top 25% of all participants in the U.K. is an outstanding achievement and one of which Grace should be very proud"
