School Number Heroes competition winners!

22 Jun 2021

This week the winners and runners-up for the National Numeracy Day 2021 competition were announced.

The response to the competition was incredible – with over 5,800 amazing entries submitted, National Numeracy Ambassador Bobby Seagull had a mighty task when choosing the winner.

After rounds of shortlists, Erin Pringle was chosen as the winner, for her wonderful drawing of herself as a Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer. Congratulations, Erin!

As chosen by Erin, the school prize bundle will be going to St Matthew's Church of England Primary School in Surbiton.
