Mathematics is a creative and highly inter-connected discipline that has been developed over centuries, providing the solution to some of history’s most intriguing problems. It is essential to everyday life, critical to science, technology and engineering, and necessary for financial literacy and most forms of employment. A high-quality mathematics education therefore provides a foundation for understanding the world, the ability to reason mathematically, an appreciation of the beauty and power of mathematics, and a sense of enjoyment and curiosity about the subject.

Our curriculum aligns with the National Curriculum for mathematics

Mathematics is taught in five rooms at the college, by a team with a combination of experience and enthusiasm. The latest teaching methods and technology are used to bring maths alive and enthuse students. We also offer a variety of extra-curricular activities and run a full course of interventions throughout both key stages.
