Gordano A-Level Students Excel in the UKMT Senior Maths Challenge
Gordano School is celebrating the success of 34 A-Level students who took part in the UKMT Senior Maths Challenge; 7 received Gold certificates, 11 received Silver and 12 received Bronze which is a huge achievement.
Ellie Siegle, Max Appleyard, Joe Roome, Stanley Godbehere from Year 13 and Megan Aitken, Daniel Chiu and Oliver Hammond from Year 12 received Gold certificates and qualified for the Senior Kangaroo, known to be exceptionally challenging.
Four of our exceptional girls also participated in the Mathematical Olympiad for Girls, with Saskia Peden, Ellie Siegle and Freya Pritchard all receiving merit certificates and Haiyi Wang a Distinction. Haiyi commented “I didn’t think I was good enough to do the MOG at first but then I got a distinction!”
We’re incredibly proud of all the A-Level Mathematicians who chose to take part in these events, regardless of what certificate they came out with. They should be proud of they way they’ve all embraced challenge
