Maths News <strong>2018</strong><br />

<strong>Cranford</strong> has had great success this year in the United<br />

Kingdom Mathematics Trust challenges. In November<br />

2017, 24 sixth form students completed the Senior<br />

Maths Challenge, winning two Gold Awards, 3 Silver Awards<br />

and 12 Bronze Awards. Particular congratulations go to<br />

Teodor Jevtic (year 12) and Baljinder Padda (year 13) who<br />

both achieved Gold Awards and also qualified for the Senior<br />

Kangaroo which is one of the follow-on competitions for high<br />

scorers.<br />

In February <strong>2018</strong> it was the turn of year 9,10 and 11 students<br />

with the Intermediate Maths Challenge. We received a<br />

staggering two Gold Awards, Ria Kalia (year 11) and Haroon<br />

Lukka (year 10), 9 Silver Awards and 39 Bronze Awards.<br />

We were delighted to see Ria Kalia, Awo Igaal (year 9) and<br />

Ahmed Ali (year 9) qualify for the Intermediate Kangaroo and<br />

are incredibly proud of Haroon Lukka who qualified for and<br />

receive a Certificate of Merit in the Intermediate Mathematical<br />

Olympiad, which is a competition only open to the top five<br />

hundred high scorers across the country.<br />

A group of year 7 and 8 students completed the Junior<br />

Maths Challenge in April <strong>2018</strong>, with Marjaan Aman (year 8)<br />

receiving a Gold Award, 11 students gaining a Silver Award<br />

and 13 getting a Bronze Award.<br />

<strong>Cranford</strong> also entered two teams for the UKMT team Maths<br />

challenges.<br />

On 3rd December 2017, Baljinder Padda, Teodor Jevtic and<br />

Haroon Lukka along with Karan Kumar (year 12) competed<br />

in the Senior Team Maths challenge at St. Paul’s School in<br />

Barnes. They worked wonderfully as a team and held their<br />

own against teams from quite a mixture schools from across<br />

London, including many independent and grammar schools.<br />

Their excellent attitude and superb mathematical ability led<br />

them to securing third place.<br />

On 14th March <strong>2018</strong>, the Junior Team, consisting of Marjaan<br />

Aman, Ayesha Kaur, Ria Dhaliwal and Manav Vivek (all year<br />

8) went to the West London Free School, in Hammersmith to<br />

compete in their team challenge. They put in an admirable<br />

performance and although they did not make the top three, they<br />

gained a great deal of experience and enjoyed the challenge.<br />

Both teams showed a great deal of commitment in attending<br />

weeks of period zero preparation sessions and were model<br />

students when representing the school in these competitions.<br />

The Maths Department is very proud of them. We would also<br />

like to thank Mr Ennis and Ms Jones, for taking them to their<br />

competitions, and Ms Gupta for working with them to prepare<br />

beforehand.<br />
