Last week saw 15 year 11 students compete in the inter house maths competition, the competition involved 8 teams, with 4 teams from both the U and H populations. This meant that students were competing both for their houses and for their half of the year. 

Across a number of closely contested rounds the students had their problem solving skills testing along with their numeracy and logical thinking skills. With the scores collected at the end, the house competition stood at:

4th: Elkes

3rd: Orme

2nd: Torrence

1st: Whitmore

Well done in particular to TT and JM (from the H population) who won the most points from any team and helped to seal Whitmore’s victory, however this didn’t stop the U population edging ahead overall.

Well done to all those involved and students in year 9 can look forward to the upcoming maths competition next half term.
