More Exam Success

Hot on the heels of superb AS and A level results  last week, were fantastic GCSE results yesterday.

In year 11 many students exceeded their expecations and targets, at every level, from A* through to G.

Especially noteworthy are the three students who all achieved the new A* Distinction grade in their GCSE Further Maths.  They (and others) are now looking foward to studying Maths and Further Maths with us at A level.

129 Year 10 students also got GCSE Statistics results yesterday.  This is the largest number of studetns we have ever entered for this exam, and it was our best ever year of results, with the most A*s ever achieved, and the highest A*-C rate.

Congratulations everyone.

Intermediate Maths Challenge

Congratulations to the 100 year 9 and 10 students who took part in the UK Intermediate maths challenge last week.  This is a competition that set challenging problems, and is a national competition.  We don't know results yet; they get set off to the UK Maths Trust, but when they do we will let you know who excelled, although all that took part from year 10 maths set 1, and year 9 sets 1 and 2 should be congratulated for their effort in what is a very exacting competition.  Questions are multiple choice, but losing marks for wrongs answers soon discourages you from merely guessing, and don't forget, no calculators!

Example questions from this year are...

17.
