FOUR pupils from a school in Highbridge took part in a county-wide maths competition this month.

Crina, Filip, Zac and Dexter took on the challenge at Wellington School in Taunton, alongside 60 other schools.

Children aged 10 or 11 from schools across Devon and Somerset are invited to take part.

The hour-long event is aimed at high-achieving young mathematicians.

Due to the coronavirus crisis, this years' annual Wellington School Maths Challenge was held virtually.

Schools are invited to enter a team of four pupils who work together to solve 25 questions in one hour.

Their problem solving skills are put to the test with a range of tasks which are based on principles from across mathematics.

Alison Trinick, yew class teacher at Churchfield Church School said: "Crina, Filip, Zac and Dexter took on the challenge, together completing the hour-long event aimed at high-achieving young mathematicians.

"It was the first time that the event has been staged virtually and over 60 schools took part.

"The children were presented with certificates and did their school proud."
