Maths

The Mathematics department aims to create independent learners who are able to apply their skills to everyday life and their future in line with the whole school mission. Mathematics is a core subject that all pupils must take at KS3 and KS4.

It is our intention to provide opportunities for pupils to learn through a variety of different teaching techniques and by having high expectations of all pupils. We strive to develop students’ resilience to whatever challenges they may face, giving them opportunities to develop confidence and strategies which they can apply to other areas of learning.  We are cognizant of the diverse range of students we teach and we seek to ensure that each student is given the opportunity to fulfil their highest potential.

Numeracy is a cross curricular skill, essential for life-long learning, and we believe that the Mathematics department has a key role to play in developing numeracy. (A separate numeracy policy is available for consultation). 

Thinking skills and Personal capabilities are also incorporated into the teaching in the Mathematics department through the use of appropriate mental maths tasks used at the teachers discretion.

The Mathematics Department is a dynamic, passionate team with the drive and ambition to stimulate, motivate and inspire our students on the road to success.  We employ a diverse range of teachers, and with our team we aim to reflect our student body and society.  Each member adds various levels of experience and expertise and brings that to the classroom to give students a rich experience.
