We are again celebrating the outstanding achievements of our Mathematics students at the United Kingdom Mathematics Trust Challenge - this time in the Senior category, which is particularly challenging.

Students in Years 12 and 13 answered a number of high level questions which were extremely difficult and four went on to receive certificates. Joshua M. achieved Best in School, Best in Year 12 and the Bronze Certificate; Andrew L. achieved Best in Year 13 and both Paige M. and Lauren A. received the Bronze Certificate.

If you are wondering how difficult the questions are, try this example:

The numbers x and y satisfy the equations x (y+2) = 100 and y (x + 2) = 60. What is the value of x - y?
