Maths Success at Wrekin College

We are so incredibly proud of our Year 6 mathematicians who recently took part in a Maths Challenge at Wrekin College.

Our team of 4 – Noah, Eva, Sofia & Theo – competed against 30 other school from across Shropshire in a series of complex fluency, reasoning & problem solving challenges.

We are delighted to say that our team achieved 3rd position and were narrowly behind the runners up. They received certificates during our Whole School Celebration Assembly as well as some gifts from Wrekin College.

We are delighted that our children got the opportunity to showcase their mathematical ability and they deserve great praise, not just for their 3rd place finish, but for how they represented our school within the county competition.
