Our aim is to make mathematics an enjoyable and empowering experience for all pupils. In their lessons students will

  • develop deep conceptual understanding of ideas in number, algebra, geometry and data handling
  • gain fluency with key facts and skills
  • learn to apply their understanding and become confident problem solvers, and
  • understand how mathematics is embedded in society and the physical world.

Online support

We give all students access to a DrFrostMaths account. We will sometimes use this for homework and revision tasks.

Students can use the explanatory videos for a reminder when stuck. They can use the interactive elements for focussed ‘key skill’ practice, exam-question practice or enrichment through UK Mathematics Trust and university-entrance-exam questions.

They are always welcome to message their teacher on Teams if they need further support with homework or revision.

Here is a list of great websites that you will find very useful when doing homework/revising.
