The day was not only about fostering a love for Mathematics but also raising funds and awareness for the NSPCC.

The morning saw children from Nursery to Year 4 welcoming their parents and families into their classrooms to take part in a range of exciting activities, including Maths scavenger hunts, homemade board games, and other number-related challenges. The interactive sessions provided a wonderful opportunity for families to experience the joy of learning Maths together.

Meanwhile, Prep School pupils showcased their creativity by designing and decorating their own Maths-themed pencil cases, on either their current mathematical topic or for Year 8, a topic they need to revise based on their latest test results. 

The school community successfully raised over £500 for the NSPCC for the second year in a row, a charity which supports children by providing counselling, advocacy and protection services to prevent abuse and promote their well-being.

Abigail Henry, Head of Maths at Mowden Hall School, said “We are delighted with how many parents and grandparents were able to attend and how engaged the pupils were in the various activities.”

“It was wonderful to see their enthusiasm for problem-solving, logic, and numbers, all while supporting the important work of the NSPCC. A huge thank you to everyone who attended and donated, and to all the staff who helped to make the morning possible.”
