On Wednesday 13 November Exmouth Community College hosted one of the regional finals held nationally. A total of 17 schools in the region came to Exmouth to compete for the regional title. Each school entered a team a 4 made up of students from years 12 and 13. There were 3 different rounds: the group challenge, cross-number and finally the shuttle round.
The final results were:
- Joint 1st Exeter Maths School & EF Academy Torbay
- 3rd Blundells
Scores were extremely close in the top third and our team achieved a very commendable 6th place.
It was a very enjoyable day for all the students participating and a joy for their Mathematics teachers to see them so enthused.
