DSAT Times Tables Rockstars Tournament

By Maths, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, Year 6

Our children took part in a KS2 Times Tables Rock Stars Tournament in May.

— St. Alban’s CofE finished 1st out of 12 schools from DSAT.

— Out of 60 class taking part, our Y4s came 2nd overall.

— Out of 1035 children participating, three of our pupils made it into the top 10: Shivraj (2nd), Dominic B 7th and Mikey M 8th. Noah K placed 21st, Myles F 41st, Grayson K 46th and Isla C 50th.

 

The effort and commitment from our KS2 children is something we are incredibly proud of. As the results are based on average scores for each pupil, every child who took part contributed to our success.

The photos show the award ceremony where the top 10 MVPs (Most Valuable Players) received their awards and the DSAT trophy was presented. It now sits proudly on display in the school reception.
