Pupils Excel at UKMT Challenge
Five pupils from The Leys have been recognised for their participation in this year’s UK Mathematics Trust (UKMT) challenges. The UKMT is a charitable organisation that offers opportunities for young people across the UK to engage with mathematics through a range of national competitions.
This year, The Leys entered pupils into both the Mathematical Olympiad for Girls and the Senior Mathematical Challenge. In the Olympiad, Abby L and Sharon D were each awarded a Distinction, placing them within the top 25% of participants nationally. In the Senior Challenge, Hazel P and Rosie Y received Merits, while Natalia S earned a Distinction, also placing in the top 25%.
Ms Evans, Head of Mathematics, commented: “Our pupils have done outstandingly well, and I am especially proud to see so many high-performing female mathematicians representing The Leys. Their success is a testament to their hard work and passion for the subject.”
