News Sixth Formers Excel in Mathematical Olympiad for Girls 07.11.2024

During October half-term we received the results of the UK Mathematical Olympiad for Girls (MOG).. This challenging competition is composed of five problems for which girls have two and a half hours to solve. A record 30 Sixth Formers elected to come into school early and take part in the competition and together they achieved a remarkable  11 Distinctions and 14 Merits. The Distinctions were awarded to  Lower Sixth students Rebecca, Martha, Alex, Abi, Julia, Bea and Olivia, as well as Upper Sixth students Victoria, Fia, Dana and Jingwen.

A particular mention should go to Fia and Victoria for their very high scores (43 and 45 marks respectively out of 50). Victoria was joint 26th out of 4749 candidates and her performance was recognised with an invitation to the British Mathematical Olympiad, Round 1, which is a six question, three and a half hour paper taken later this month.
