I was so impressed yesterday with the Year 5 students from Sprowston Junior and Falcon Junior who came up to the High School to take part in some Maths activities. This event was planned, set up and run by Mr Crowley and Miss Shannon and I would like to thank them for such a well-organised session. The students were really engaged and worked very well in their groups, completing some enjoyable and also challenging tasks. 

On Monday 26th June six year 10 students attended the International Space Challenge at RAF Waddington near Lincoln. The students had to design and build a model of a space hotel, backed up with scientific, mathematical and engineering data. They then had to prepare and deliver a marketing presentation in Spanish. The panel of judges included representatives from the RAF, Business Language Champions, People First Education, pH Interim Forensic Engineering and the National Space Academy. 

A huge well-done must be said to four Year 8 students that were selected to represent SCHS at an inter-school maths quiz last Friday.

Aiden, Kira, Stanley and Emma all did brilliantly considering they were the first team from our school to go to this event.

It was a thoroughly enjoyable day and a fantastic example of team work, quick thinking and perseverance.

UKMT Junior Maths Challenge certificate winners from Year 7 and 8 were awarded their certificates this week.

Well done to all of them! Special congratulations to Stanley M from Year 8 (Gold Certificate and Best in Year) and Harriet K from Year 7 (Gold Certificate and Best in School) Harriet also qualified for the next round of the competition: The Pink Kangaroo. We await her results with anticipation.

A very big well done to all those in Years 9, 10 and 11 who took part in the UKMT Intermediate Maths Challenge 2017. Students from across these three year-groups won a total of 17 certificates at silver and bronze level, after pitting their wits against the notoriously fiendish problems in this year’s edition the famous Challenge. It was an absolute pleasure to present these awards to our gifted Key Stage 4 students, and particularly the year 9 stars of the future.

Mr Crowley
