Some comments!

“All members of our Y6 Maths in Motion Club have just achieved between 92% and 100% in a mock KS3 L5 test – staggering! We put this down mainly to the massive gain in confidence and

ability that this project gives them throughout the year and the fact that they thoroughly enjoy everything about it. Maths no longer holds any fears for them – it’s wonderful to see!”

Garth Hall, Peel Park Primary School, Bradford

“We were looking to motivate our borderline C/D students and that aim has been surpassed. Our GCSE results have more than reflected the work we have done and we now have a real buzz in most maths lessons with this age group. I have to say that Challenge has been, and continues

to be, absolutely brilliant.” Gary Young, Tunbridge Wells Grammar School for Boys

“I have never seen so many children enjoying mathematics in the same place at the same time.

This is an absolutely wonderful project for schools to participate in and has to be a worthwhile experience.”

Dame Wendy Davies Associate Director, Specialist Schools & Academies Trust
