Mathematics

Across the years pupils are taught to use mathematics to solve increasingly difficult problems. We consider using Mathematics to be a vital life skill.

In our school all Mathematics is taught in sets. Each class will follow a set scheme of work, increasing in difficulty each year. All pupils experience the National Strategy for Mathematics.

Classes are taught in many ways including traditional exposition and practice, investigational work using ICT, etc.
