LEH International School Foshan is proud to celebrate the exceptional achievements of our students in the highly esteemed UKMT Junior-Level Mathematics Competition. This success not only highlights the individual accomplishments of our students but also showcases the strength of our school's mathematics education.
What is the UKMT Junior-Level
Mathematics Competition?
The UKMT Junior-Level Mathematics Competition is a prestigious national competition in the United Kingdom for students at the junior level, typically between the ages of 11 and 14. It challenges these young mathematicians with math problems to test their problem-solving skills and mathematical abilities, providing a platform for them to showcase their talent and passion for mathematics.
The Mathematics Department extends its warmest congratulations to all participants, with special recognition for our budding mathematicians from the Prep School who joined us for this competition. Their dedication and enthusiasm for mathematics have been truly inspiring.
The achievements of our students in the competition were truly outstanding. Bronze certificates were awarded to David (Year 5/6), Constance (Year 7), Mina (Year 7), Tommy (Year 8), Hassan (Year 8), and Daniel (Year 8), recognising their commendable performance.
Several students demonstrated exceptional mathematical aptitude, earning Silver certificates. Tom (Year 5), Alison (Year 5/6), and Dareo, Antonio, Amy, Ivy, Tina, Martin, and Samantha from Year 7 all received this well-deserved recognition.
Additionally, we extend our congratulations to Egbert from Year 4 for receiving the Best in Year award alongside a Silver certificate.
We are thrilled to announce that an impressive total of 10 Gold certificates were awarded to Joanne, Nicole, Tai, Mathea, Simon, and Ryan from Year 7, as well as Michael, Guim, Harry, and Suki from Year 8.
Furthermore, we are delighted to share that Suki from Year 8 and Ryan from Year 7 have qualified for the next round of the competition. Their exceptional scores of 118 out of a possible 135 points have earned them Best-in-School certificates, setting them apart as outstanding mathematicians. They will sit the follow-on paper on June 15th, representing LEH Foshan with pride.
Congratulations to all our students for their remarkable achievements in the UKMT Junior-Level Mathematics Competition. Their success is a testament to their hard work, the dedication of our talented mathematics educators, and the strong foundation in mathematics provided by LEH Foshan. We look forward to witnessing their continued growth and success in the field of mathematics and beyond.
