We are very proud of our S3 pupil Hop who participated in the Senior UKMT Maths Challenge (aimed at S5/6) and completed the first round of the prestigious British Maths Olympiad (BMO).

He has achieved a distinction in Round 1 and a qualifying score for Round 2 of the BMO which will take place later this month.

As well as challenging high-scorers from the BMO Round 1, the Round 2 is an entry point to the training and selection programme for international competition.

Hop, who is always keen to represent the school’s Maths department, said he was “quite proud” of himself as this was the first time he made it to the second round.

What an incredible achievement. Well done and good luck in Round 2!
