Mathematics

Course summary

Mathematics is of great value in its own right; in addition, it supports many other areas of study at A Level and beyond; for example: Geography, Economics, Computing, Design and Technology, and the Sciences. It is also a subject which is greatly valued by employers. You will be taught by two teachers, with one concentrating on the pure/mechanics and the other on the pure/statistics. In Mathematics you will learn predominately via a whole class interactive teaching style similar to that experienced at GCSE. There will be an increased opportunity to share in discussion and present solutions. The homework will be set frequently requiring a quick turn round to support learning ready for the next lesson. Mathematics is expected to appear in only one block. This means some setting can and will take place, enabling the teachers to pitch the teaching at the appropriate level.
