The vast majority of our students really enjoy learning Maths and this is partly due to the inclusive, yet aspirational nature of the department. We have a strong history of success at both GCSE and A Level. Each year, over 90% of students gain grade 4+ and around 40% gain grade 7+ at GCSE. We currently have four A-Level Maths classes and one Further Maths class in each of Years 12 and 13 and we also run Core Mathematics as one of our Year 12 enhancement options, with outcomes also reflecting students’ high ability and enthusiasm for the subject.
As a result of excellent teaching, our students consistently achieve fantastic academic outcomes at both GCSE and A-Level. “Behaviour is exemplary in lessons and around the school.” which means the school has a calm atmosphere and students are ready to learn. "Pupils are polite, well-mannered and kind.” and “are ambassadors for the school, demonstrating excellent behaviours in all that they do.” (Ofsted 2023)
