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 are able to become successful members of the local and wider community. We offer a well sequenced and ambitious 5-year curriculum, with KS5 mathematics as an ultimate goal, which ensures students are challenged and aspire to achieve.
We develop students so that they:
- Become independent learners
- See methods in a variety of contexts so that knowledge is deepened
- 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
Our Curriculum Road Maps offer a brief visual guide to our curriculum showing the learning sequence that students will follow in each year group.
