Pop Maths Competition 2024 at Sheffield Hallam University
We won the Pop Maths competition at Sheffield Hallam University. Having held the trophy since 2019 when the competition was last run, we are thrilled that we are lifting the title again. This mathematical competition saw us pitched against 28 other schools, including Sheffield independent schools. It was so exciting when we realised we had won. Thank you very much to the pupils and parents who gave up their Saturday to compete or support.
We will be looking at the Year 5s now to complete in March 2025!
