FOUR pupils from Rillington Primary School were crowned best young mathematical brains in the region as part of the National Young Mathematicians’ Awards.

A total of 22 schools took part with Johnathan, Ryan, Lois and Beth, from Rillington, being victorious in the primary school category.

All schools had competed in a previous round to make it to the semi-final, which was held in early December.

The competition was organised by tuition provider Explore Learning and NRICH at the University of Cambridge.

Charlotte Gater, of Explore Learning, said: “We saw an amazing array of maths skills on display where youngsters worked as a team, excelled in logical thinking and, most importantly, had fun while learning. A massive well done to all those who took part.”
