Pi Day, celebrated annually on March 14th, is a global event recognising the mathematical constant π (3.14). To mark the occasion, students were invited to challenge themselves and see just how far they could go beyond those first few familiar digits. The response across the school was fantastic, with students from multiple year groups getting involved and pushing themselves to achieve impressive totals. The challenge created a real buzz, with students practising, testing one another, and aiming to climb the leaderboard. One student, however, stood out above the rest with an extraordinary performance, successfully recalling an incredible **250 digits of pi**. This remarkable achievement required not only excellent memory but also focus, determination, and resilience. Events like this highlight the enthusiasm students have for learning beyond the classroom and showcase the wide range of talents within the school community. The Pi Day challenge was a great example of how a simple idea can inspire curiosity, friendly competition, and a love of mathematics. A huge well done to everyone who took part in the challenge and made it such a success. We look forward to seeing who can go even further next year! - [ previous](https://lythamhigh.lancs.sch.uk/news/2026-04-13-science-department-hosts-exciting-escape-room-challenge) - [next ](https://lythamhigh.lancs.sch.uk/news/2026-04-15-hermes-house-hosts-successful-easter-tombola-for-just-good-friends) [![International School Award](https://files.schudio.com/lsa/images/partners/isa-web-banner-300x70.jpg)](https://schoolsonline.britishcouncil.org/content/international-school-award-about)[![Stonewall](https://files.schudio.com/lsa/images/partners/StonewallOG2(1).png)](http://www.stonewall.org.uk/)[![CEOP](https://files.schudio.com/lsa/images/partners/blue_large_final_Click_CEOP_gif_(3).gif)](https://www.ceop.police.uk/safety-centre)![SSAT Member](https://files.schudio.com/lsa/images/partners/SSAT_Member_Badge_Colour1.png)![We are reading ](https://files.schudio.com/lsa/images/partners/We_Are_Reading_logo_(4).jpg)![Apprenticeship Champion](https://files.schudio.com/lsa/images/partners/App_Champion_logo_School_badge-01(1).png)![Operation Encompass](https://files.schudio.com/lsa/images/partners/logo-next-steps.png)[![Digital Healthy Schools](https://files.schudio.com/lsa/images/partners/digital-healthy-schools-landscape-logo.3f633add.jpg)](https://lythamhigh-lancs.digitalhealthyschools.co.uk/) ### School Resources - [Developing Vocabulary](https://lythamhigh.lancs.sch.uk/Developing-Vocabulary) - [Learning Wall](http://lsa.thelearningwall.co.uk/) - [Student Support](https://lythamhigh.lancs.sch.uk/student-support) - [Anti-Bullying Support](https://lythamhigh.lancs.sch.uk/antibullying-support) ### Useful Links - [Microsoft 365 Copilot](https://login.microsoftonline.com/) - [Synergy](https://lsa.schoolsynergy.co.uk/) - [Synergy Parent Guides](https://lythamhigh.lancs.sch.uk/parents/synergy/synergy-guide) - [Student Synergy App (Apple)](https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/synergy-student/id6444856817) - [Student Synergy App (Android)](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.synergy.student&hl=en_GB) - [Hire school facilities](https://lythamhigh.lancs.sch.uk/hire-us) - [CPOMS](https://lythamhigh.cpoms.net/) - [ Modern Slavery Statement](https://cctrust.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Modern-Slavery-Statement-Jan-26.pdf) ### Contact Us **Lytham St Annes High School** Albany Road Lytham St Annes Lancashire FY8 4GW Tel: 01253 733192 ### Connect With Us [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/LSAHighSchool/) [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/@lythamstanneshighschool4750) [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/lsahighschool/) © Copyright 2013–2026 Lytham St Annes High School– [View Privacy Notice](https://lythamhigh.lancs.sch.uk/school-information/privacy-notices).
