GDST Sixth Form Pure Maths Programme 

The GDST is delighted to announce the launch of the second cohort of the bespoke Sixth Form Maths Programme, designed to stretch and challenge students studying Pure Maths. Four Blackheath High School students - Kani, Anjy, Maddie and Tarika - have embarked on the Programme. The course is run by Mathematician Gill Brackenbury via Google Classrooms, and is designed to boost performance in the Pure Maths elements of the November University Entrance Examinations for competitive universities, including Oxford and Cambridge. 

The programme was born out of collaboration efforts of our GDST Heads of Maths community, identifying a common need and designing a solution to give students the opportunity to join a network of like-minded GDST Sixth formers across our family of schools.  

UKMT Intermediate Maths Challenge 

In January, all our Year 9-11 students participated in the UKMT Intermediate Maths Challenge, with a further eight students selected from Years 7 and 8. UKMT designed this 60-minute, multiple choice challenge to encourages mathematical reasoning, precision of thought and fluency. Congratulations to everyone who took part - it takes a lot of resilience & determination to complete the challenges, and we’re hopeful certificates will be coming your way. 

Find out more about the challenge our students took part in on the UKMT website.
