Elmhurst winners in National Maths Competition

10th May 2018 | Key Stage 2

Congratulations to pupils who won first, second and fourth places in the National Inter-School Maths Quiz Championship.

Read Keshav's recount of the competition:

On Saturday 6th May, my team and two other teams from Elmhurst took part in the area heats of the Quiz Club competition. Our preparation really paid off when our first two teams took the top spots!

Quiz Club Mathematics is a national maths competition where schools across the country go head to head in a battle of the brains. Elmhurst put in three teams this year, each with four members who had been chosen by their ability and, more importantly, attitude .

Weeks beforehand, our brilliant Head of Maths, Mrs Neagu, bombarded us with the Quiz Club practice tests, to give us an idea of the real questions which we would be asked on the day .

After the warm journey, we cooled our bodies and warmed our brains with some ice cream (thanks, Mrs Neagu!)
