Maths is taught throughout the school with pupils taking part in a minimum of 3 hours of maths lessons a week. Work is differentiated and taken from the National Strategies at the appropriate level.
All aspects of maths including number, shape and space, measures, handling date and using and applying are taught in all of our classes. Lessons are taught in a variety of ways including the use of ICT, practical games and activities alongside the more traditional written tasks.
Pupils will sit the Year 6 and Year 9 Statutory Assessment Tests (S.A.T.s) where appropriate. Some pupils also gain success in the Year 2 assessments. Pupils in years 10 and 11 follow either an Entry Level or GCSE course, many gaining good grades. In Key Stage 5 Mathematics continues to be taught as a discrete subject. The emphasis here is on functional adult numeracy.
