Mathematics and Numeracy

Brief overview

This area of learning includes:

Within Mathematics and Numeracy our aims for pupils are:

to develop a deep, broad and increasingly complex conceptual understanding of mathematics
to enable pupils to communicate effectively with symbols
to gain fluency in the use of mathematical skills
to develop strong logical reasoning skills
to be able to develop strategies in order to solve problems, including those involved in real life

Pupils are taught by specialist teachers across the areas of Number, Algebra, Shape and Space and Handling Data.

At GCSE, financial mathematics and other applications of numeracy as well as non-calculator and calculator mathematics are areas of focus.

At A level topics are divided between Pure Mathematics, Mechanics, Probability and Statistics.
