CALCULATING pupils at Pleckgate High School celebrated success in a national maths competition.
Eighteen pupils won certificates in the UK Intermediate Maths Challenge run by Leeds University after taking a problem-solving exam paper without using calculators.
Graham Peacock and Gemma Purkis both won gold certificates and Graham achieved the highest score of the school.
Danielle Guppy, 13, scored the highest mark in her year and will go on to the next stage of the competition, the international European Kangaroo.
Head of maths Angela Stevens said she was very pleased with their results.
She said: "It's very satisfying for the children and it's something really positive for their record of achievement."
