Mrs Ailsa Lawn, head of Lomond's junior school, said: "I am thrilled for our T1 and T2 classes on this national achievement.

"This fun competition has boosted maths confidence as well as the pupils’ accuracy and recall speed. The pupils have worked very hard to win the top prize and I look forward to them defending their title next year.

"Special mention to Kyle and Lucas who came 14th and 15th out of a field of 6,000."
