Curriculum Intent
To ensure that every young person, regardless of background, has a rich and meaningful mathematics education.
The curriculum is designed based on the 6 key areas delivered from KS1 through to KS5. The Yr. 7 curriculum continues from KS2 and moves progressively until KS4. The faculty follows the Maths Mastery approach – teaching for understanding rather than teaching ‘how’.
- Algebra Number
- Geometry Ratio
- Probability Data handling
