Bolton brothers among first in UK to complete maths programme

Two talented brothers from Eden Boys’ School, Bolton are among just a handful of pupils in the UK to complete an online maths learning programme.

Deputy Head Boy Sharull Hossain, who is a Year 11 pupil, and his younger brother Ibnul, in Year 10, answered more than 20,000 questions correctly as part of the Hegarty Maths learning programme.

Sharull completed 168 hours of work, the equivalent of a full 24 hour a day week, and scored 100% across 925 skills. His brother, Ibnul, completed the programme in 124 hours matching his brother’s 100% success across all 925 skills.

The mathematical whizzes were delighted to receive a letter from the founder of the programme, Colin Hegarty, congratulating them on their remarkable achievement.

Teachers at the school praised the pupils who they said had always shown exceptional interest in the subject and worked diligently to expand their knowledge and stretch their skills.

Sue Gill-Daintith, Principal at Eden Boys’ School, Bolton said: “We are incredibly proud of Sharull and Ibnul who have demonstrated how a little bit of extra work each day can build up into an enormous achievement over time.

“They have worked very hard to complete this programme and we are all very pleased that their work has been recognised and celebrated by the founder of Hegarty Maths.

“We know that their work ethic and talent for the subject will take them far in life.”

Hegarty Maths is used by thousands of teachers and pupils in classrooms across the country every day. The programmes have helped more than one million pupils in the UK and are used to help support the teaching and learning of maths at Eden Boys’ School, Bolton and other schools across the country operated by Star Academies.
