Maths

Years 7–11 follow the White Rose Maths curriculum. This carefully sequenced, mastery-based approach develops deep understanding through small, connected steps. Lessons focus on fluency, problem-solving, mathematical reasoning and the use of visual models.

Year 11 students will follow a bespoke curriculum focused on GCSE preparation after Easter. This addresses key concepts, examination skills and identified gaps, with targeted practice to ensure students are well prepared for their summer examinations.

Reading Intervention:
Selected students in Key Stage 4 will have Maths intervention during their 30-minute reading lessons. These sessions run from Tuesday to Friday, providing two extra hours of focused support led by our maths teachers. These sessions are designed to strengthen key skills, reinforce understanding, and offer personalised guidance to help students confidently work towards securing their target grade. This structured time ensures every learner receives the targeted help they need to make strong, sustained progress in mathematics.

Additional Support Programme:
Selected Key Stage 4 students receive Maths intervention during their 35-minute reading lessons, four days per week. This provides over two additional hours of targeted Maths support each week, focusing on key skills, identified gaps and preparation for their target grade.

We provide a range of support to meet the needs of all learners. This includes direct instruction in Years 7 and 8 for students who need additional support with key mathematical ideas.

Students who benefit from an alternative pathway can study Entry Level Mathematics in Years 9 and 10, developing essential numeracy skills and preparing for their GCSE studies in Year 11.

For high-attaining Year 11 students, Further Mathematics provides additional challenge and introduces more advanced topics, supporting those considering A-level Mathematics or STEM pathways.

Entry Level Courses:
For students who benefit from an alternative pathway, we provide Entry Level Mathematics courses in years 9 and 10. This qualification focus on building essential numeracy skills and ensuring that students experience success at an appropriate level. The programme is flexible, supportive, and designed to celebrate progress while preparing learners for their GCSE examinations in year 11.

Further Mathematics:
For high-attaining Year 11 students seeking additional challenge, we offer the opportunity to study Further Mathematics alongside the standard curriculum. This course deepens understanding, introduces advanced topics, and supports students who may wish to pursue A-level Mathematics or STEM pathways. It is designed to stretch and inspire learners who enjoy exploring mathematics at greater depth.
