AROUND 400 students and parents attended an award ceremony at Culcheth to celebrate their achievement in mastering maths and English above their current school level.
The youngsters attend four study centres run by leading after-school education providers Kumon at Warrington and Lowton.
Kumon area manager David Hilton and children’s author David Webb presented students with gold, silver and bronze medals and certificates in recognition of their achievements.
Each of the four centres had been asked to put forward one student for the Student of the Year award and this was presented to Luke Comer (pictured), from the Lowton study centre.
Kumon offers maths and English programmes for children of all ages and abilities to provide as many children as possible with the opportunity to learn, aiming to give them the best chance in life.
Luke’s instructor, Cath Muscroft, said: “Luke started Kumon in 2006 at the age of three and has made great progress since, reaching long multiplication by last year when he was in Year 2. He was on his way to reach algebra well before the end of primary school when disaster struck and he broke his arm, but instead of taking time off from his Kumon work, he forged ahead, and is now multiplying fractions, a fantastic achievement for a student in Year 3.”
