The maths department's vision is to motivate, inspire and guide pupils to build and discover mathematical knowledge. In doing so, embedding that knowledge in order to ensure it may be applied fluently to all aspects of learning for life. We strive to encourage pupils to become independent and ambitious towards their learning and employment.
We work hard to ensure that the maths taught offers a differentiated scheme of work ensuring that there is sufficient depth for all levels and abilities. By generating interest in the application of the skills, we generate interest in maths as a subject itself. It is crucial that maths is enjoyable and not taught through gimmicks but taught by helping our pupils find enjoyment in their own success and learning.By combining little wins and long term goals to drive pupils to strive to succeed. Helping pupils to understand the grades needed to get on to the IB course and A-Level maths courses at other Sixth Forms.
As a maths department we are passionate about maths and we ensure we teach our pupils to be resilient learners who can become life-long mathematicians with the aim that they can thrive in their GCSE and open many doors to a very bright future.
We have an ethos that no answer is a silly answer and if an answer is wrong we explore together to find the right answer together.
We believe every pupil can succeed in Maths.
