Well done to all students who participated in the recent UKMT Senior Maths Challenge.
It is a particularly difficult competition as, not only are the questions more complex, but negative marking is employed to penalise incorrect answers.
Once again, Barnardians did very well with over half of the students achieving awards, amounting to 20 Bronze, five Silver and one Gold award.
A special mention must also go to Charlie, in Year 12, who was awarded best in School.
