Maths
We believe that maths sits at the foundation of children’s learning. We have a comprehensive numeracy programme to enable learners to become proficient in key skills, which falls alongside our main programme of study. This ensures students are equipped with the necessary tools to engage in the mathematical world around them.
Key Stage 3 (Years 7, 8 and 9)
Our KS3 mathematics curriculum develops students’ mathematical knowledge across the domains of number and proportion, algebra, geometry and measures, and statistics and probability. Students learn mathematics with coherent methods and they get to apply their skills in increasingly complex ways to solve all sorts of problems.
We aim to build students’ mathematical skills, reasoning and problem-solving and their knowledge of its applications. Students learn to appreciate how to think logically and search for patterns. By the end of KS3, our intent is for students to be able to think mathematically, to know how mathematics is applied throughout the world, and to be enthusiastic to continue to further study in mathematics.
Key Stage 4 (Years 10 and 11)
Our KS4 mathematics curriculum is designed to prepare students for success in Mathematics GCSE using the Edexcel exam board. Building on strong foundations from KS3, students will learn to apply the core concepts in mathematics and will develop an understanding of how the discipline is applied to solve problems.
As well as leaving KS4 with a strong qualification in GCSE Mathematics, our intent is that this curriculum sets students up with the skills that will allow them to pursue a future in many related careers.
