VLT Maths Challenge

On Wednesday 14th October, Ruislip High School was buzzing as students from across the trust gathered for this year’s VLT Maths Challenge. The annual event is always a highlight, giving our young mathematicians a chance to team up, tackle some tough problem- solving puzzles, and enjoy a bit of friendly competition.

Since launching back in 2021, the challenge has seen some brilliant moments, but this year was extra special.

In a historic twist, Field End Junior School snatched the trophy for the very first time, taking the title from last year’s winners, Hermitage! On top of that, primary school teams pulled off a complete sweep of the top three spots, taking home bronze, silver, and gold.

Speaking about the event, organiser Bhavik Joshi (Second in Charge of Maths at Ruislip High School) said: "The VLT Maths Challenge has become a fantastic tradition for our schools. It was amazing to see so much energy in the room and watch students work together to
tackle some really tricky mathematical problems."

A huge congratulations to Field End Junior School on their big win, and a massive well done to all the students and staff who came along and made the afternoon such a success!
