Congratulations to the following students:

Gold – Matthew Lopes and Finn Stephens. Both students also achieved best in year certificates and Matthew the best in school certificate.

Silver – Megan Evans, Antonia Appleton, Shane Bell, Anthony Donohue and Rachael Eyres.

Bronze – Mollie Wilkinson, Kiera Bennion, Alfred Middleton, Niamh Mullan, Sophie Yearsley and Elizabeth Lea.

Approximately 8200 of the top students are invited to sit a follow-on competition, the Junior Mathematical Olympiad or Kangaroo.  We were very pleased to have had Matthew and Finn both participate in the Kangaroo competition.  Finn achieved a certificate of participation and Matthew a certificate of merit, placing him in the top 25% of participants.  Matthew is our first student to achieve this award and it is an outstanding achievement for a year 7 pupil.  We congratulate both students on their success in the competition.

A number of our students entered the Merseyside Challenges and we are very pleased that two students, Matthew Lopes and Gabrielle Williams, were successful in achieving awards.  Both students were invited to University of Liverpool to be presented with certificates of merit and receive book vouchers as their prize.  Well done to both students, they are the first to achieve awards in these competitions for a number of years.
