About usHeadteacher’s welcome
Our school has a very positive ethos where all individuals are respected and valued, regardless of age, background or beliefs. We are determined that all pupils will be given equal opportunities to thrive and succeed, and we will challenge and support them to overcome all potential barriers to learning.
University of Newcastle Annual Maths Challenge
Every year, the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Physics runs a Maths Challenge for students in Year 8 and below.
Entrants complete a series of challenging and fun problems over February half-term. They can either return them to the University directly or via Mrs Carnegie at school. Some of the questions might involve some investigation and some problem solving and we would love to encourage Highfielders to give it a go!
The best entrants, along with teachers, family and friends are invited to a prize-giving evening at Newcastle University.
The problems can be downloaded via the link or pupils can see Mrs Carnegie for a paper copy:
