Maths Day 2025

Before the half term break, Wednesday 21 May marked National Numeracy Day and so both the Prep School and Pre-Prep school enjoyed a day of fun maths activities to celebrate the day. There were some tricky problem-solving investigations involving party-planning and cake sales during their maths lessons which kept them busy, although it did make them a bit hungry! 

In assembly, we learnt all about Alan Turing – a mathematician amongst many things - and his pivotal role in cracking the Enigma machine to decipher messages sent from overseas, which is widely believed to have reduced the war by at least a few years and saved millions of lives. 

With their code-breaking hats on, children had to go around the school solving maths questions to decipher the hidden messages. A day with a lot of maths and a lot of fun!
