Pupils Rise To The Intermediate Mathematics Challenge

This prestigious national competition is open to students in Years 9, 10 and 11, and involves answering multiple-choice questions under formal exam conditions, with papers subsequently marked by the UKMT. The highest-achieving participants are awarded Bronze, Silver, or Gold Certificates, recognising their exceptional mathematical ability.

This year, 103 talented Princethorpe pupils were selected to participate and enjoyed the opportunity to demonstrate their aptitude and perseverance in tackling complex mathematical problems. The College is delighted to announce that pupils performed exceptionally well, achieving outstanding results.

Special congratulations go to Oscar Rexton-Watts in Year 10 and Thomas Zanyi in Year 11, who not only secured a prestigious Gold certificate but also earned the accolade of best-performing students in the school. In addition, Oscar and Thomas, alongside fellow students Ollie Hawkins, Jay Patil, Ethan Simons, KrishnaVishal Bolisetty, Louis Reynolds and Dillon Horan, achieved scores high enough to qualify for the next stage of the competition, the highly challenging Intermediate Kangaroo round. Nine pupils received Gold certificates, 16 Silver and 27 Bronze.

Princethorpe College is immensely proud of all the pupils who took part in this demanding challenge. Their success is a testament to their dedication and hard work, as well as to the excellent support and guidance provided by the school’s Mathematics Department. Well done to all participants!
