UKMT Team Success

On Thursday, 7 March, Ivybridge Community College students, Ciaran  and Lucy in Year 8, and Isobel and Alex in Year 9, represented the College in the regional finals of the UKMT Team Challenge.

Teams are made up from gifted and talented students from schools and colleges across the county.  This year fourteen teams participated in the competition.

Our students performed well above average and finished in third place, an outstanding achievement.  At one stage in the Challenge there was only one point separating the top three teams.

Congratulations are well deserved.
