II / Problem solving

UKMT Senior Maths Challenge

I got a Gold in the Senior Maths Challenge and was the top scorer in my year group. I like these problems because you cannot answer them from recall — there is no method you have already been shown.

They made me slower in a useful way: read the question twice, write down what is actually being asked, and look at the structure before reaching for algebra.

I still do Project Euler in my own time for the same reason — solve it badly first, time it, then work out why the brute force was unnecessary.

IV / Reports

What my teachers wrote

Taken from my school reports, with the subject and teacher.

Mr Turner
Further Mathematics

Freddie is an outstanding mathematician who has had an excellent year in A Level Further Mathematics. He has performed consistently well across all unit assessments, and his strong work ethic has been clearly reflected in his impressive end-of-year exam result. Freddie approaches problems with a concise and methodical style, producing well-structured solutions that are both easy to follow and appropriately detailed. His command of mathematical notation is particularly strong, and he uses it effectively to communicate his reasoning. His written solutions to proof-based questions are exemplary, demonstrating both precision and clarity.

Mr Wilson
Physics

Freddie has made excellent progress in Physics this year. He demonstrates a strong ability to grasp concepts and ideas quickly, which has enabled him to apply his knowledge effectively to a range of problems. His performance in the end-of-year exam was commendable, achieving a grade of A* with a score of 71%. He particularly excelled in questions related to stationary waves and dynamics.

Miss Rogers
Computer Science

Freddie is an absolute delight to teach and has proven to be incredibly quick at picking up the content. He is able to apply his learning to new scenarios and make astute observations and connections about content covered. Freddie is just as comfortable writing an essay on computing ethics as he is performing binary arithmetic. I am pleased Freddie has chosen to embark on the Cyber EPQ and is already looking at other extension opportunities.

Mr Shields
Computer Science

Freddie has really impressed me with his work this term. He has stretched himself with his programming, attempting extension activities and working through the problems on Project Euler in his own time. He is also willing to share and discuss his programs in lessons.

Mr Bradshaw
Mathematics

Freddie has made a very positive start to the course. He is often at the centre of discussions in the classroom and clearly enjoys solving the more unconventional questions posed. A high level of accuracy is evident in his written work which clearly augurs well for the future.

Dr Fiddes
Mathematics

Freddie is a total delight to teach. He shows massive enthusiasm and asks really interesting questions. He is very happy to wander away from the A level syllabus and explore other areas. Written work is superb, showing every detail carefully. Freddie has been responsive to feedback and quick to make necessary adjustments. It has been great to see him attempting some hard problems and he achieved a Gold in the SMC. A great start.


V / Alongside

Fitting it around everything else

Four subjects, academy rugby and Head Boy in the same week.

Something always gave, and mostly the trick was choosing what. During the Bath pre-season my reading dropped and I caught it up in the holidays. During mocks I trained but did not add extra sessions.

It helped that they did not ask for the same kind of attention, so an afternoon of rugby was a reasonable break from a morning of maths rather than more of the same.

The thing I would change: for a long time I treated asking for help as evidence I had not worked hard enough. Dr Fiddes’ line about being “responsive to feedback” is generous — it took me most of Lower Sixth to get there.
