STUDENTS from Tavistock College are celebrating success in a national maths challenge earlier this year.
Many of the 63 students from Years 9, 10 and 11 did very well in the UK Intermediate Mathematical Challenge 2000, pitting their wits against young people from throughout the country as they solved a series of problems.
Peter Richardson and Samuel Dobson, who are both in Year 9, did so well they have been invited to take part in the European Kangaroo, in which they will compete against students from 20 countries across Europe.
