Wilnecote School students are celebrating an impressive performance in the Intermediate Mathematical Challenge (IMC), a prestigious national mathematics competition.

The IMC, aimed at students in years 9 to 11, tests their mathematical problem-solving skills with a challenging multiple-choice format under timed exam conditions.

Wilnecote School entered 30 students into the competition, and their hard work paid off. A remarkable two students achieved gold certificates, placing them among the top 8-9% of participants nationwide. Five students secured silver certificates, and a further eight earned bronze. Additionally, fifteen students received participation certificates for their commendable effort.

The school is particularly proud of its year 9 students who made the significant step up from the Junior Mathematical Challenge to the more demanding Intermediate level.

Special recognition goes to Joey C, who achieved the highest score in year 10, and Kai W, who not only topped year 9 but also emerged as the school’s overall champion.

Mr Mulhall and the entire mathematics department at Wilnecote School congratulated all participants for their dedication and success. They highlighted the students’ achievement not only in terms of their mathematical prowess but also in demonstrating the maturity and resilience required to compete at such a high level.

The school looks forward to reporting on the upcoming Junior Mathematical Challenge results later this year. This early success in the Intermediate Mathematical Challenge bodes well for Wilnecote’s aspiring mathematicians.
