Nine young mathematicians at Yeovil College have been recognised at the annual UKMT Senior Maths Challenge.

The first year A-level maths students excelled in the national competition which is organised by the UK Mathematics Trust for sixth-form students. Jasmine Read answered the 25 challenging questions, which are not related to A-level maths and are intended to stretch students to think logically and laterally.

Using her skill, insight and problem- solving ability, she secured a silver medal.

High-performing students receive medals and each year the top few maths students in the country are eligible to go onto the national and international Olympiads.
Coronavirus restrictions meant the students entered online and all adapted well to the change in format.
