UKMT - Students Celebrate Outstanding Maths Competition Success

Recently, students at The Aylesbury Vale Academy took part in the UK Mathematics Trust (UKMT) Junior Maths Challenge — a national competition designed to encourage mathematical reasoning, precision and problem-solving. The challenge is aimed at Year 7 and Year 8 students, with certificates awarded to the highest-performing participants nationally.
The students performed brilliantly!
A special mention goes to two Year 8 students for their exceptional achievements. Ryley J achieved a Gold Certificate in the Junior Maths Challenge, awarded to the highest-performing students nationally, while Gabriel U was recognised as a winner in the prestigious Kangaroo Maths Competition, an international challenge focused on creative and logical problem-solving.
In addition, many Year 7 and Year 8 students achieved Silver and Bronze certificates, reflecting the hard work, commitment and enthusiasm for mathematics across the academy. Well done to them all!
To celebrate these fantastic achievements, students were invited to a special breakfast in the Atrium with Mrs Lutchi.
Congratulations to all students involved, and thank you to the Maths Department for their continued support and encouragement.
