Mathematics Introduction

All pupils are encouraged to reach their potential in Maths, whatever that might be.  The staff enjoy running Puzzle Days, trips and Masterclasses and use every opportunity to have fun and help students to enjoy Maths.  Large numbers of pupils are entered for the annual Maths Challenges and many go on to win certificates.

We have a strong A Level team and regularly send pupils on to study maths at University.
