Success at The National Intermediate Maths Challenge for QEH

QEH pupils have once again showcased their exceptional mathematical talents in this year’s prestigious Intermediate Maths Challenge, achieving remarkable results that reflect their dedication and problem-solving skills.

Aimed primarily at gifted mathematicians in Years 10 and 11, the competition also attracts ambitious younger pupils keen to put their skills to the test. With over 100,000 pupils participating nationwide, earning a Gold certificate is a significant achievement—reserved for only the top eight percent of entrants. Beyond this, the highest-performing pupils progress to the exclusive follow-up rounds, including the challenging ‘Kangaroo’ events (limited to around 8,000 pupils) and the esteemed Mathematical Olympiads, where just 1,500 of the most exceptional mathematicians qualify.

This year, we are delighted to celebrate an outstanding accomplishment: 25 of our pupils earned Gold certificates, a substantial increase from last year’s total of sixteen. Their commitment, perseverance, and analytical excellence have truly set them apart, reinforcing our school’s reputation for mathematical success.

Our mathematics department is incredibly proud of every pupil who participated, recognising their dedication and enthusiasm for the subject.
