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.
