A team of four year 12 students from the Cabot Learning Federation (CLF) Post 16 has proudly secured runners-up position in the prestigious Ritangle competition.
Ritangle is an annual nationwide competition tailored for teams of students aged 16-18 who are currently pursuing studies in A-level mathematics, the International Baccalaureate, Scottish Highers or equivalent qualifications.
The competition, which took place between October and December, attracts talented students from across the country to showcase their mathematical prowess without the need for knowledge beyond A-level maths. Of the 1,200 schools which entered, 153 schools were successful in submitting answers to the final question and of those there was one winner and 10 runners-up.
Despite the intense competition, the Cabot Learning Federation Post 16 team demonstrated exceptional skills and determination, earning them the one of the distinguished runners-up positions. This accomplishment reflects the dedication and academic excellence fostered within the Cabot Learning Federation Post 16.
Rachel Finlayson, CLF post 16 Maths Teacher, said, “The students worked independently and really pushed their mathematical understanding to secure this amazing achievement.
“Their self-motivation and drive means they have achieved something they should be very proud of. I am very proud of them and look forward to seeing what they can achieve next year.”
