What valuable knowledge can I expect my child to gain?
Department Vision Statement
KS3
To design a mathematics curriculum which is accessible to all and maximises the progression of every child's ability and academic achievement. Students will learn in a progressive manner with new topics built on secure foundations at a level suitable for them to be challenged. Students will be taught for true knowledge and understanding than a methods approach.
Exam Groups
Our focus is to deliver excellent lessons consistently across the department so every child can reach their potential. We want to build confidence in our students so they can apply their knowledge in other curriculum areas and real life situations as well as their examinations. We want students to enjoy mathematics, have an appreciation of the power of mathematics' and a sense of curiosity to take it further.
