The Mathematics Department endeavours to present Mathematics in a thought-provoking and enjoyable way while igniting pupils’ curiosity.  Great care is taken to ensure the transition from primary to secondary school is as smooth as possible with mathematical skills being reinforced while developing and introducing new skills and concepts. 
 

We aim to:

• make the learning of mathematics enjoyable, stimulating, and accessible to all.  We offer an extensive and developing mathematics curriculum that is pro-actively meeting the challenges and opportunities presented by the revised curriculum;

• enable the pupils to apply mathematical skills within other areas of the curriculum and real life;

• create a positive learning environment, an atmosphere of enjoyment and respect;

• give the pupils opportunities to engage in self and peer assessment and take responsibility for their own learning.  Achievement at all levels is celebrated.

 
We help pupils to:

• develop mathematical knowledge, skills and understanding;

• gain experience using problem-solving strategies;

• apply mathematical techniques in other subjects, every day and real-world situations;

• reason mathematically, make predictions and draw conclusions;

• interpret mathematical information displayed in graphs and tables communicate mathematical findings accurately and concisely;

• acquire a foundation appropriate to the further study of mathematics and other related disciplines;

• appreciate both the beauty and fun that mathematics offers.
