The annual event was organised by Explore Learning in Whiteley, which provides private tuition, and the NRICH Project at the University of Cambridge.

Head of curriculum at Explore Learning Charlotte Gater said: ‘We saw some fantastic demonstrations of teamwork and mathematical prowess up and down the country.’

The grand final was held at the University of Cambridge with the winning school team taking home a maths-themed prize bundle.

Ambassador for this year’s awards TV presenter Kjartan Poskitt said: ‘I’m so pleased to be involved with the awards this year.

‘I’ve heard from so many kids who have taken part in the past and they’ve all loved it.’
