Mathematics

Mathematics plays a crucial role in helping us comprehend the world around us by nurturing children’s ability to calculate, reason, and solve problems. It equips them with the understanding to recognise and appreciate patterns and relationships in numbers and space in their daily lives. Through their expanding knowledge and comprehension, children develop an appreciation for the contributions made by numerous individuals in the development and application of mathematics.

At our school, we employ a diverse range of teaching and learning approaches in mathematics lessons. Our primary objective is to enhance children’s knowledge, skills, and understanding in mathematics. This is achieved through lessons that incorporate a significant amount of whole-class and group-directed instruction.

We ensure that all students have the opportunity to attain an Entry Level Certificate in Year 8/9, and we actively encourage them to work towards an appropriate level GCSE qualification in Year 11.
