Mathematics

Curriculum Overview

Mathematics

Mathematics is an essential skill in life; being numerate and confident in numerical calculations is valued and recognised by both employers and centres of further education and empowers individuals to make sensible and informed decisions regarding everyday life and personal finance.

As a Mathematics Department, we aim to deliver a curriculum that motivates and encourages all students to realise their potential. We want our students to be inspired by the subject of mathematics.We try and inspire our students in the classroom.

We try and equip students with the numerical skills that they will need in real life not just exam situations.

We use a variety of teaching methods and resources.We go outside of the classroom from time to time to complete activities outside.

We give students the opportunity to link subjects together such as PE and Maths.We encourage students to take responsibility for their own learning, making sure every student knows the progress they are making.

We give students the opportunity to extend their own learning.

We ask KS3 students to invite their parents to an evening Maths Class so that they can get help with homework at home. At KS4 we follow the Edexcel course to completion Mathematics (1MA0).

We offer lots of extra-curricular activities:

  • UKMT Maths challenge to challenge and extend students in all years
  • Inter-subject trips including one to the Eden Project in Spring 2022

Homework is completed using sparxmaths.com, if parents need assistance we have compiled some helpful guidance below.
