A Tonbridge School team has come ‘Top in the<br />
World’ in the Trinity Maths Competition, an annual<br />
online contest which tests students’ problem-solving abilities<br />
under time pressure. More than 150 teams from leading schools<br />
across the world, including those in China, the US and the UK,<br />
took part but Tonbridge team ‘e = pi = 3’, made up of students Isaac,<br />
Hayden, Alex, Catalin, Justin and Sam, finished in first place in the<br />
entire world. A second Tonbridge team, ‘39 is prime’, also did<br />
extremely well, achieving 21st place in the world rankings.<br />
James Ashton, Head of Maths, says, “By any measure, this is<br />
a remarkable achievement. The second and third places<br />
went to prestigious Maths schools in the US, and so<br />
this result confirms Tonbridge’s reputation as one<br />
The<br />
of the finest schools for Maths in the country<br />
and, quite possibly, in the world.”<br />

It’s Awards Season at<br />
Millfield Prep School<br />
Sporting Success at The<br />
Granville, Sevenoaks<br />
It’s been an incredible year so far at<br />
The Granville School in Sevenoaks (co-ed<br />
Pre- School for ages 3-4 and girls’ Prep School<br />
for ages 4-11). Thanks to the hard work of the PE<br />
department, expertly led by Natalie Rendle, and the<br />
girls themselves of course, this small school of around 170<br />
pupils has placed 3rd nationally in Cross Country, competed at<br />
the IAPS U11 National Netball finals (1 of only 24 schools to<br />
qualify) and were runners up in the National Netball Bowl<br />
Competition. They also placed 4th in the South-East in<br />
Hockey and will be swimming in the IAPS National<br />
Championships in <strong>June</strong> at the London Aquatic<br />
Centre. Alongside numerous local tournament<br />
and match victories, it’s clear that this<br />
small school packs a big punch!<br />
