We believe that Mathematics should be fun, exciting, challenging and relevant to all our students.

For Year 7

• A comprehensive series of induction lessons that review basic numeracy and allow us to assess pupils at the very start of the term
• Early setting (by week 3) allowing pupils to build on their strengths and develop in areas of weaknesses. Setting is then closely monitored and reviewed
• Regular homework (weekly) and testing (mini topic tests fortnightly)
• Intervention for weaker pupils and additional opportunities for those who particularly enjoy the subject (weekly after school/lunch time sessions)

 For the student

• Access to online teaching and practice resources for use at home and in school
• Regular assessment which tells pupils what they can do well and what they need to do to get better (mini topic tests)

For the parent

• Accurate and timely feedback on student’s progress (postcards, texts, phone calls and Term Test summary sheets)
• Teachers available via email to deal with individual pupil issues
• Information about assessments (including revision lists and dates), homework and other activities available at all times via the school’s MLE  allowing parents to monitor and support their child at home

 For GCSE

• Small sets for students who find Mathematics difficult (20)
• Revision classes and support – resources, after school/Saturday sessions/modular routes to boost attainment.
• Early entry and Additional Mathematics is offered for our most able pupils

 For A-Level

• We have a rapidly developing 6^th Form with a high uptake for A-level Mathematics. Unusually we also offer Further Mathematics and a one year Mathematics Booster course to allow pupils on GCSE C/B to make it to A-Level Mathematics

 Enrichment for all

• We offer a range of real life Mathematics activities and workshops as part of regular teaching and as a central part of our Science and Mathematics week. We have a weekly lunchtime and after school Maths Club which is open to all pupils for help or just extra practice. Specialist Gifted and Talented, Problem Solving and Booster sessions take place after school throughout the year.

Students receive a personalized approach to all stages of their education. We offer many levels of intervention and support.  We work hard to ensure that every child achieves their full potential.
