The teaching of Mathematics aims to develop confidence in and enjoyment of the subject and to provide the students with an enriching and personalised experience that will encourage their learning up to GCSE, Advanced level and beyond.
There is a wealth of co-curricular Mathematics on offer, including Maths Clinic, the Hans Woyda competition, and the UKMT National Mathematical Challenges which we enter students for at Junior, Intermediate and Senior levels. In addition to this, sixth form students are also offered the opportunity to attend external lectures by leading mathematicians.

The power of potential
We challenge each student to explore their potential through academic aspiration and active participation. We teach our students to expect Great Things of themselves, because we know every individual is capable of Great Things.
Academic success is always our priority, but education should be about far more than achieving top grades. We believe in educating the whole person and equipping our students with the confidence to make their mark on the world.
We encourage students to become involved in the many co-curricular activities on offer. Taking every opportunity to develop their interests and creativity, their interpersonal, teamwork and leadership skills, to be forward-thinking and to reach into the wider community.
