Has anyone had any experience with this? We were vaguely aware DS1 was taking it, but have now been phoned by his school to say he's on to the next level (although no further details as yet).

Almost nothing about it online, so I thought I'd tap in to the great collective wisdom of Mumsnet!

The kids seem to enjoy it. DS has been doing it for a few years now.

I think it’s bronze/silver/gold/pink kangaroo/(a few other levels) and the very top kids go to the Olympiad. I’ll need to ask DS

@GreenTulips - yes, that's the information I found, but that doesn't really tell me much about the next round.

For instance, will he be able to take it at his school, or is it at another center? What's the difference between the Intermediate Kangaroo (!) and the Intermediate Olympiad? I got the impression that the latter is the one he's taken, but is the Kangaroo the next one? How many people are involved? Is it really daunting? He has ASD so may find some aspects a bit challenging.

So - looking for experiences really, if anyone feels able to share!

Thanks! Not entirely sure what it means, but the school seem to think he's done well. He was told today but didn't think to tell me (fairly typical of him), I only found out when his maths teacher phoned me up!

That's great well done him. I'm sure others will be on with more info. My dds have done well in the past but not on to the next level.
