Mathematics is a collaborative discipline where students belong by showing kindness, valuing different perspectives and supporting one another when problems become challenging. Grounded in the principles of mastery, we foster the belief that every problem can be approached and solved through integrity, resilience and systematic thinking. By nurturing curiosity and an aspirational mindset, students develop a scholarly approach to mathematical reasoning, justification and proof. Through exploring connections across mathematical concepts, students become confident, reflective problem-solvers, equipped for advanced study and life beyond the classroom.
Key Stage 3
Taught through 4.5 x 55-minute periods each week
Students explore the links between mathematical topics, connecting their learning from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 4. We focus on developing fluency in mathematical concepts and structures, ensuring students can apply their knowledge to both routine and non-routine problems. This learning is enhanced with activities that encourage students to draw on previously mastered material, promoting problem-solving and mathematical reasoning.
Key Stage 4
Taught through 5 x 55-minute periods each week (6 for Year 11)
Students follow the Edexcel specification, building on their mathematical knowledge and skills to prepare for GCSEs and beyond. They engage with exam-style questions and develop techniques to succeed in their assessments. Our goal is to ensure every student reaches their full potential, regardless of background or prior learning, equipping them with the mathematical skills necessary for everyday life and further study.
