Warhammer Team in Nationals

Our four man Warhammer Team left school very early this morning to go to Nottingham and compete in the National competition.

They are now on the train on the way back from Nottingham. Sadly they did not make it through to the final, but they did have a great day and the boys have all been exceptionally well behaved.

Thank you Mr Crowther for taking the team and enjoy your birthday weekend!

Brambletye pupils achieve a record Maths Challenge success

Pupils in Years 6 to 8 recently achieved a record number of certificates in this year’s  UK Intermediate Mathematical Challenge, designed primarily for much older pupils approaching GCSE. 

Normally, only the top stream pupils in Years 7 and 8 are entered  for this challenge at Brambletye but this year the field was stronger than ever before  and included several gifted and talented Year 6’s. Between the 30 candidates they achieved 4 gold, 6 silver and 5 bronze certificates, a total which broke the school’s existing record of 13. 

Five pupils did so well that they qualified for the next stage, known as the European Kangaroo, for the most able Year 9 and below in Europe. Remarkably, one of these pupils is only in Year 6. 

Entering challenges such as this is a vital part of Brambletye’s Gifted and Talented policy for stretching able pupils
