Primary Maths Challenge Dulwich College Junior School in top four schools in the country
n Last November, some Year 5s and Year 6s took part in the international maths competition, the Primary Maths Challenge (PMC). The challenge was taken by 66,500 pupils from schools across the world, and of these the top 3%were invited to take part in the Bonus Round. Here at Dulwich College Junior School, 26 students took the Bonus Round paper in February, and greatly enjoyed the challenge and thinking involved. Awards have been allocated by PMC to students scoring 14 marks or higher in the Bonus Round, and we are thrilled with the results our students have achieved – four Gold (highest to date at DCJS), eight Silver, and six Bronze, which placed us in the top four schools in the country.

The boys were tasked with creating an accessible, eco-friendly and durable building for a city, which had to contain a coded element using Lego WeDo software. As well as this, they had to create a display project about the learning process and the different steps they had taken. The boys did a fantastic job of presenting this to our judges and were praised for showing such great enthusiasm about their creations.
