The pupils wrote a one-hour individual paper, had a tea break, then wrote a one-hour team paper.
“The interactions between the pupils were great, with some lovely discussions and mathematical explorations, despite the really tough questions. Our junior team came 16th out of 43 teams nationally, and the seniors came 8th out of 42 teams,” said a statement from Kingswood.
