Maths

Mathematics is delivered following the National Curriculum and pupils learn the key areas such as Number Sense and Numeration, Measurement, Geometry and Spatial Sense, Patterning and Algebra, and Data Management and Probability.

In Mathematics, we implement a cross curricular method to the subject by bringing in English, ICT/Computing, Humanities also having discussions why Maths is so important and the role it plays in everyday life. The goal here is to encourage all the students to have an understanding and encourage them to appreciate Maths outside the classroom, as well as broadening their understanding. Maths isn’t simply a classroom activity; we make the most of our surroundings by taking it outdoors and bringing it more to life and making it more exciting for the students.

We enter students for an array of qualifications based on their suitability; these include Entry Level, Functional Skills and a GCSE in Mathematics.
