Meet Yixuan (Lily), an Upper 6 student at Moreton Hall who has established herself as one of the school’s leading mathematicians. Having joined in 2023 as an Upper 5 student, Lily now studies Mathematics, Further Mathematics and Physics at A Level.
Over the course of her Sixth Form journey, Lily has gone from strength to strength, consistently performing at the top of her cohort. This year, she achieved the highest score in the West Midlands in the inaugural Mathematics Competition for Girls, a new national competition running alongside the Maths Olympiad for Girls. She has also secured Gold Awards in both the Senior Maths Challenge and the invitational Andrew Jobbings follow-up competition, placing her among the strongest performers nationally.
Lily’s success is underpinned by a proactive approach to learning: she makes full use of subject clinics, seeks regular feedback from her teachers, and embraces extension and enrichment opportunities that deepen understanding beyond the syllabus.
Looking ahead, Lily is applying to study Mathematics and Data Science, with choices including the University of Bath, Imperial College London, UCL, Warwick and Birmingham. Alongside her A Level studies, she is preparing for the TMUA entrance examination.
Outside the classroom, Lily is an accomplished pianist preparing for ABRSM diploma-level examinations, enjoys exploring jazz, and plays badminton for fun.
Her journey reflects the opportunities available to Sixth Form students at Moreton Hall: high academic expectations, personalised support, and encouragement to pursue excellence in and beyond the classroom.
