Mathematics, together with many other subjects, is a key part of understanding how to make sense of the world. The purpose of the mathematics curriculum is to advance students’ numerical fluency, mathematical reasoning and problem-solving skills so they can become successful members of the local and wider community.

We develop students so that they:

• Become independent learners
• Can understand and reason through complex problems
• Can use prior understanding to reach new goals
• Gain in confidence and are able succeed at a wide variety of numerical, algebraic, statistical and spatial mathematics problems.
• Can analyse a situation and approach it effectively
• Develop an understanding of the language of mathematics and the way we use notation to communicate mathematical truths
• Are prepared for everyday life, higher education and the world of work
