The Senior Mathematical Challenge is a 60-minute challenge with 25 multiple-choice questions that encourages mathematical reasoning, precision of thought and fluency to make students think. The UK Maths Trust awards certificates to the top-scoring 66% of participants to recognise the highest performers in the Challenge. These certificates are categorised into Bronze (49+ points), Silver (66+ points), and Gold (83+ points) in the ratio 3:2:1.
These outstanding achievements exemplify the dedication and talent of our students and also reflects our commitment to excellence in maths. Well done.
