The Mathematics Faculty is a lively and busy faculty.  In addition to this, we regularly host PGCE and trainee student teachers.   

The Head of Faculty who is line managed by a member of the Senior Team is supported in the leadership of the faculty by three Deputy Heads of Maths, each responsible for a Key Stage. We follow the Sparx Maths Curriculum for KS3 and KS4 and use Sparx Maths for students to complete homework tasks weekly. 

All Maths classrooms are equipped with an interactive whiteboard. We strongly encourage the sharing of resources within the faculty, and we will welcome the contributions and resources of the appointed person to support colleagues. 

At KS4 we follow the Edexcel specification, and we also offer the Edexcel Level 2 Extended Maths Certificate to those who wish to develop their thinking further as a bridge to A Level. 

At KS5, we off both Edexcel A Level Maths and A Level Further Maths. The ability to teach A Level Maths is desirable but not essential. We run a range of enrichment activities for students of all ages, including themed weeks, clubs, UKMT Maths challenges, interschool maths challenges and maths support sessions.  

We are a faculty keen on developing our own professional development and we encourage staff members to attend courses where possible and we have colleagues in the faculty who are markers for our examination boards. We are incredibly proud of all that we do in our faculty and would welcome applicants who wish to become part of this dynamic, thriving and inspirational faculty.
