At Ecclesbourne today, some of our Year 6 and one of our Year 5 pupils took part in the UK Maths Trust’s Junior Mathematical Challenge. This is a nationwide competition, open to pupils in Year 8 and under, which tests the children’s ability to answer complex mathematical problems under test conditions in a one hour paper. Although some of the questions were extremely challenging, the children really persevered and we are very proud of their fantastic effort. If they do well. they will move on to the next level of the competition. We wish them luck!
