Maths at the Races!

A group of Year 8 students recently visited Fontwell Racecourse to explore the fascinating links between mathematics and horse racing.

During the trip, students had the opportunity to walk and measure the parade ring, visit the stables, and learn about the different equipment used by jockeys. They also discovered how maths is used throughout the racing industry, from measurements and timings to statistics and data analysis.

It was a fantastic experience that brought classroom learning to life and demonstrated how maths can be applied in a real-world setting.

Thank you to Racing to School for providing this fantastic opportunity.
