Maths

The intent of our mathematics curriculum is to design a curriculum, which is accessible to all and will support the development of every child’s achievement. We want children to make connections across mathematical ideas to develop fluency, mathematical reasoning and competence in solving increasingly sophisticated problems. We intend for our pupils to be able to apply their mathematical knowledge across the curriculum and into other subjects.

Maths is a core compulsory subjects and is taught to all students in Key Stage 3 and 4.

Students in Key Stage 3 will study units from number; algebra; data handling; and geometry, extending prior knowledge from KS2 as shown in our Curriculum Map. Students will begin their Key Stage 4 GCSE study in Year 10 and will sit their exams in Year 11. We follow Edexcel Maths in GSCE.

At Key Stage 5 we offer AQA Maths and Further Maths at A level. 

Students will have the opportunity to develop a number of skills including:

• Problem solving
• Analytical Thinking
• Logic
• Research Skills
• Critical Thinking
• Constructing logical arguments
• Communication
• Quantitative reasoning
• Statistical analysis
