Mathematics
We offer a variety of activities throughout the year. Year 7 students are involved with the Maths Science trail often working and helping year 5 Primary pupils. Gifted and most able students can participate in the Leeds University UKMT Maths challenge and Year 9, 10 and 11 students are given the chance to attend Maths Feast and Maths Master classes at the University of Cumbria. We offer Maths at A Level. These are popular choices and students often go on to study Mathematics related degrees at university.
Setting
The Maths staff use the Key Stage 2 SAT and Teacher assessments from Feeder Primary schools to place pupils in suitable ability sets. In conjunction with this we also assess pupils using our own mathematics tests and regularly review pupil progress. We aim to keep track of each pupil's progress and keep you informed.
Resources
Each of the specialist maths classrooms are equipped with Smart Boards, text books which follow the National Curriculum and practical maths equipment such as mini whiteboards.
