Writes Simon Hardman, Head of Mathematics
On the Wednesday afternoon before half term six prep schools – The Beacon, Edge Grove, Gayhurst, Merchant Taylors’ Prep, St John’s and York House – sent groups of Year 5 and Year 6 pupils (accompanied by their teachers) to Taylors’ for the annual Prep Schools’ Maths Afternoon. Pupils went on a trail around the School, completing some maths problems on their way, before heading to the Dining Hall to work on some more.
The pinnacle of the day was the inter-school challenge round, involving two pupils from each school. After a closely-fought contest in which some challenging questions were elegantly answered by all pupils involved, a pupil representing Gayhurst narrowly came out on top.
Thanks to all the teachers who supported the day!
