We believe that Maths is an exciting subject and numeracy should be central to a young person’s curriculum. We seek to deliver lessons which challenge all students, underpinned by Rosenshine principles. The student lies at the heart of the assessment process and we use a wide range of formative and summative approaches to support learning.

We are ambitious for every child. We have introduced a mastery scheme of work at KS3 and offer students the opportunity to study Level 2 Further Maths at GCSE. At A Level, we offer both Maths and Further Maths. We provide a number of enrichment opportunities based around STEM to inspire and motivate mathematicians for the future.
