Upton students took part in the UKMT Senior Challenge on 5th November.

The UK Mathematics Trust (UKMT) is a registered charity whose aim is to advance the education of children and young people in mathematics. The UKMT organises national mathematics competitions and other mathematical enrichment activities for 11-18 year old UK school pupils.  82,000 students from across the UK entered the Senior Challenge this year with the top 10% receiving gold certificates, the next 20% silver and the next 30% bronze. 

The following students scored highly:

Matthew (Y13), Elliot (Y13), Austin (Y13), David (Y12), Emily (Y12), Zack (Y12) & Andrew (Y12) achieved Bronze certificates.

Ewan (Y13), Ethan (Y13), Anna (Y13), Zed (Y12) & Joe (Y12) achieved Silver certificates.

The students answered some very demanding problem solving questions to achieve these awards. They should be very proud of themselves.
