Mathematics

Welcome to the Mathematics Department.

We are passionate about Maths and its learning and our aim is to help students to develop a greater love and appreciation for the subject. We seek to do this through a Mastery approach to teaching and more importantly to learning; whereby we recognise the fundamental principles of coherence, variation, fluency and logical thinking as essential to stimulate those rich connections that are the path to the deep appreciation of the subject. We also recognise the hierarchical nature of our subject and of the need for interleaving, the practice of systematically revisiting topics, which leads to a progressively deeper understanding of the underlying principles and ideas in the subject. In doing so, we also stimulate the development of perseverance and resilience which are essential to any successful life-long learner.
