The scheme of work at KS3 is based on the National Numeracy Strategy with pupils working through modules of work of approximately 2 weeks duration. At KS4 we follow the EDEXCEL GCSE Mathematics course with schemes of work based on the Higher and Foundation tiers of entry. All pupils are entered for GCSE Mathematics. Most of our pupils sit their Maths exam early either in year 10 or in the November of year 11. Following this they either follow the GCSE Statistics course or for our most able pupils the GCSE in Additional Mathematics.
The Schemes of work at both KS3 and KS4 are objective driven. The faculty has numerous textbooks and equipment available for all levels of ability.
