Twenty-six Fram Prep mathematicians from Years 7 and 8 reached the Gold, Silver or Bronze standard of excellence in the UKMT 2018 Junior Mathematics Challenge this year. The competition, run by the Leeds University based UK Mathematics Trust, is aimed at individuals who have a particular talent for Maths. Over a quarter of a million Year 7 and 8s from around the country took part in this challenge.
To challenge our many More Able pupils at Fram Prep, 40 enthusiastic Set 1 and Set 2 pupils were entered for the tough but fun challenge in April. We were thrilled to hear this week that our certificate haul was nearly doubled this year: well done all!
