Haruki, Julian, Pawel and Naomi

For the second year running, the Stonyhurst College Senior Mathematics Team has won the regional final of the UK Maths Challenge, held in Lancaster last week. They are now through to the final in London next February. Beating Rossall School into second place, the team comprised of Pawel Rzemieniecki, Haruki Kawano, (both Rhetoric), Naomi Jackson (Poetry) and Julian Au Yeung (Grammar). Pawel scored the highest ever mark achieved by a Stonyhurst pupil in the UK Maths Challenge, and took the first paper in the British Maths Olympiad last month; he  recently gained a place at Cambridge to read Mathematics, having already achieved A* grades in Maths and Further Maths at A2. Haruki  has an A* in A2 Maths, and an A in A/S Further Maths and hopes to read Mathematics at Oxford. Head of Maths, Mr David Rawkins said “I'm delighted with our team’s result. They got 170 points out of a possible 192 and deserved this success after training religiously every week!”
