Maths in Motion - Welcome to the world of applied Maths!
The team finished second, just 12 second behind the Upper Secondary winning team. A phenomenal achievement which stands as a testament to the dedication of Bankfoot Primary School pupils who took part. The Upper Secondary and Lower Secondary Schools had hundreds of entries each which underlines their achievement - 24 of which were up against Bankfoot in the final!!
Starting with computer software simulations, this team from the school went all the way to the top by mastering the science of motor car manufacture in real life.
