1 59 SUMMER NEWSLETTER 2025 Follow us @ThornleighMaths MATHS Numeracy Challenge The numeracy challenge has run in all Year 7 and 8 forms this year. As the competition nears its conclusion for the summer term the battle between students and form tutors to gain top spot has been intense. In Year 7 at the time of writing, Ms Brett-Andrew’s 7 Kappa lead the way with a huge 78 point lead over Miss Liptrott’s 7 Zeta with Ms Keogh’s 7T 8 points from second in third place. The overwhelming majority of forms have competed really well with almost all forms gaining large numbers of correct entries on a consistent basis and most forms having at least one week where all students got the correct answer. In the Year 8 numeracy challenge, a lot of forms have performed fantastically well this term, with many forms scoring 100% on the challenges each week. The current leaders in Year 8 are Ms Hawksworth’s’ 8T with Ms Bajkowski’s 8 Gamma 41 points behind at the time of writing. Mr Eccleshare’s 8 Lambda are in third place, and Mr Hodson’s 8 Zeta are currently in fourth place. All four of these forms have been consistently the best all academic year. The only question is which of the top four forms comes out on top in the final reckoning with Ms Hawksworth’s form looking the hot favourites. The competition will continue until the final week of term when the winners will be presented with the coveted numeracy challenge trophy and a form prize.
