The mathematics curriculum provides students with a deep understanding of key concepts while building their confidence in logical and mathematical problem-solving. It develops numeracy skills and literacy skills, ensuring students are prepared for future challenges. Through diverse content, the curriculum emphasises the role of mathematics in the world and nurtures curiosity and creativity.

In Year 7, students are placed into sets (1-7) based on Year 6 SAT results, followed by a baseline assessment to identify gaps. Personalised questions via Sparx Maths help ensure they are in the right group for optimal progress.

Maths lessons are scheduled simultaneously across year groups, allowing seamless set changes without affecting other subjects. Teaching and Learning Assistants (TLAs) support students with special educational needs.

In Key Stage 3, students receive seven maths lessons per fortnight, following a 3-tier Mastery curriculum (support, core, and depth), aligned with the GCSE exams. High-achieving students can move to higher sets, while those needing more support join sets at a slower pace. Progress is monitored to ensure timely interventions. We have added more advanced topics to the Key Stage 3 curriculum from the GCSE specification. This is to push the more able students towards achieving grade 7 plus. We have also extended the topics covered at the support and core levels so that more students are exposed to higher level questions earlier to make them more familiar.

In Year 9, students begin the GCSE programme with eight maths lessons per fortnight. The top three sets follow the higher tier, while other sets follow the foundation tier.

Pupils are currently supplied with formula sheets in the GCSE exams. Whilst they are not required to learn these, it is recommended that pupils become familiar with their usage.
