Tonbridge School has come ‘Top of the World’ in the global Trinity Maths Competition.

More than 150 schools across the world took part in the Trinity Maths Competition where they tested students problem solving skills under pressure.

The Tonbridge team, named e = pi = 3, was made up of Isaac King, Hayden Lam, Alex Chui, Catalin Botezat, Justin Leung and Sam Zang.

A second team, 39 is prime, also did well, achieving 21st place in the world rankings. This team consisted of Ralph Edmondson, Justin Leung, Zach Hudson, Moncef Slimani, Hugh O’Donnell and Ollie Whittall.

James Ashton, Tonbridge’s Head of Maths, said: ‘By any measure, this is a remarkable achievement. The second and third places went to prestigious Maths Schools in the US, and so this result, along with some of our excellent performances in other competitions, confirms Tonbridge’s reputation as one of the finest schools for Maths in the country and, quite possibly, in the world.’
