Well done to all who participated – we had many participants who were only just below the threshold for a medal so this is a fantastic achievement. Thanks to all Year 7 and 8 Maths teachers for their hard work, and particularly to Mrs Williams-Harvey for her organisation and running of the competition.

At St James, we feel it is important to introduce our pupils to stillness and allow them to discover how to be inwardly free and deeply at ease within themselves. A short period of 5-10 minutes at the beginning and middle of every day is allocated to quietude in which pupils may meditate, contemplate or simply be still – according to their own spiritual inclinations.
