Mathematics
Years 7 & 8
Students are set in Year 7 after the first few lessons and are taught in half year groups until Year 9. The curriculum is mapped across Key Stage 3 based on the four ability profiles and students are taught the skills and understanding needed to start the GCSE in Year 9.
Years 9, 10 & 11
The department aims to develop students’ skills in problem solving and independent thinking, also to promote a love of mathematics by teaching the Edexcel specification. Students are encouraged to explore mathematics through studying a wide range of topics including Number, Algebra, Space, Shape and Measure, and Data Handling. They are also taught to acquire the skills needed to apply the theory they have learned to solve problems in the real world.
