Each year pupils in Years 6, 7 and 8 are invited to take part in a variety of maths competitions and challenges that take place both at Beaudesert and at other schools.  They include:

• The Primary Maths Challenge (PMC) taken by over 100,000 Year 6 pupils all over the country and run by the Mathematical Association
• The Junior and Intermediate Maths Challenges run by UKMT (the United Kingdom Maths Trust)
• Duncan Buchanan’s Team Challenges for pupils in Years 5 and 6

Over the past few years the quality of online maths has improved no end.  The list below only scratches the surface of what is out there!
