Mathematics
In Mathematics we aim to develop a background of mathematical skills and knowledge, concepts and terminology to help students in every day life as well as assisting them in the study of other subjects and in the study of Mathematics in future years.
We aim to develop skills in communicating and interpreting mathematical information and thinking critically, logically and creatively to solve problems in a variety of situations.
We hope to build a confidence and enjoyment within our students when working with mathematics.
