We have a thriving mathematics department, with 9 members of staff. The capable department members bring a range of different educational and business experiences to their classes.

We have 4 groups plus a further mathematics group in year 12 comprising over 55 students, many of whom will go on to study Mathematics at university. We follow the Edexcel Modular course.

At GCSE we follow the AQA linear course and our top sets also take the first core module of the A Level syllabus. Pupils are regularly tested in year 10, to record progress and provide evidence if set changes are necessary.

At KS3 the students work in preparation for their SATS. We follow the new Heinmann textbooks. Students are here rewarded by a merits system and the most worthy students are also sent home letters of commendation. Students are put into sets at the end of year 7, but the process in repeated at the end of years 8 and 9, too.

Within the Borough, there are individual and group competitions to extend the more able students. We also take part in the UK Mathematics challenge at Junior, Intermediate and Senior level. We often receiving Gold certificates and move people onto follow up rounds and Mathematics Olympiads.

Each Mathematics classroom has an electronic whiteboard and projector where teachers make use of the Internet and specific software such as 10ticks Omnigraph and other Mathematics programs. We also have access to the school computer labs.

Revision classes are held by the staff in the run up to GCSE and A Level examinations.

The Mathematics Department makes up the backbone of the Staff Chess Team who, despite various attempts by the Sixth Form, remain unbeaten.
