Senior Maths Challenge 2021

This year the Senior Maths Challenge took place on Wednesday 10th November. GMS entered a total of 19 students from Year 12 and 13. Those who entered were studying A-level Maths or Further Maths.

This is a national event, where top mathematicians from every school answer challenging problem-solving questions. Of all the students who take part, the top 11% receive the ‘Gold Award’, the top 22% receive the ‘Silver Award’ and the top 33% receive the ‘Bronze Award’

Students opt to enter the challenge because it offers a fantastic opportunity to showcase their mathematical abilities; it’s also beneficial when results can be referenced on application forms to universities, apprenticeships and jobs.
