CHILDREN who are streets ahead in mathematics received their rewards at a presentation night at Ewood Park Conference Centre.
They attend the Kumon Maths Club, Blackburn, studying a programme which originated in Japan.
There are Kumon Clubs all over Britain and Blackburn's is the biggest outside London.
Firdous Umer, aged 13, of Accrington Road, Blackburn, was one of only 15 Kumon students in the country to receive a special plaque for completing all the basic skills for GCSE three years in advance.
