Mathematics

If I were again beginning my studies, I would follow the advice of Plato and start with mathematics.

Mathematics Department

Welcome to the Mathematics Department! At our school, we believe that mathematics is all around us, shaping the world in ways that may not always be immediately obvious. Our department is dedicated to helping students appreciate the beauty of mathematics in everyday life, making the concepts taught relevant to the modern world.

Curriculum Overview

Our curriculum is designed to be hands-on and accessible for all pupils, regardless of their ability levels. We ensure that every student is challenged appropriately, allowing those who can work at a faster pace to excel, while providing support through differentiated tasks for those who need it so that no student is left behind.

We pride ourselves on being a resource-rich department, equipped with various learning platforms tailored to suit the age and abilities of our students. We recognise that children learn in diverse ways, and our online platforms—such as TimesTable Rockstars, Numbots, and Myimaths—facilitate this learning. These tools also empower parents to actively support their children’s educational journey at home.

Specialist Teaching

From Year 3 onwards, mathematics is taught by subject specialist teachers who are passionate about their field. Our educators aim to instil a love for mathematics and inspire students through their enthusiasm.

We recognise that problem-solving plays a vital part of the curriculum, therefore, we dedicate lessons each week that focus solely on this essential skill. This allows students to develop their critical thinking, team-work and analysis skills, which all help to shape our students into well-rounded young individuals.

Competitions and Challenges

Our students thrive on competition! They eagerly participate in inter-school maths challenges and look forward to the Primary and Junior Maths Challenges each year. We have a strong track record of success in these competitions, consistently placing well and showcasing the talents of our pupils.
