About the Department

Mathematics is a popular and successful department in the school, offering Mathematics and Further Mathematics at Key Stage 5. Uptake at KS5 is high and last year many of the students who completed the A2 secured places in universities to continue their study of the subject. 

The department has highly dedicated staff who have a wealth of knowledge in preparing the students for their GCSE exams. This year the results were 4+ 72% and 5+ 54%, and we are looking at building upon this success by strengthening the team.

The department consists of 8.5 full time teachers who are dedicated to achieving the best outcomes for the young people in their care. As a team they work collaboratively, constantly looking for new ways in which to improve their teaching and to raise standards.
