Senior Curriculum - Mathematics


Mathematics lessons take place in two specialist teaching rooms.  We aim to develop mathematical skills alongside an appreciation of pattern, order and structure.

The use of I.C.T. is encouraged, but we are also keen to improve the mental skills of our students.


Years 7 to 11

Students are organised into two sets and retain the same teacher where possible throughout Years 8 to 11; this ensures continuity and means that potential AS/A2 students retain the same teacher throughout their GCSE course and their Sixth Form studies. The Higher Level and Intermediate Level courses from the OCR specification 1962 A are followed by both sets.  Coursework is completed during the Autumn and Spring terms of Year 11 and is marked by the OCR examination board.

In addition to the general syllabus, pupils enjoy tackling the Junior and Intermediate U.K. Mathematics Challenge competitions. They have been successful in entering the second stage European competitions.

Years 12 and 13

Mathematics is an increasingly popular subject choice and we follow the Edexcel modular courses in Pure Mathematics, Statistics, Mechanics and Decision Mathematics.  Students are entered for AS and A2 in both Mathematics and Further Mathematics.
