Faculty Introduction
The Mathematics Faculty comprises a team of specialist teachers and a Faculty administrator. The aims of the Faculty are:
- To engender an enthusiasm and a passion for Mathematics in all students and provide them with the expertise to utilise their skills in a range of situations.
- To provide a structure for students to develop independence, powers of analysis and logical thinking.
- To foster a curiosity about Mathematics and its applications and an ability to make links between different strands.
- To allow students the opportunity to learn from mistakes.
- To ensure that all students fulfil their mathematical potential in terms of both formal examination results and more informal learning outcomes.
At present, each year group has the following number of lessons of Mathematics each week:
- Years 7 and 8: Three lessons
- Year 9 and 10: Four lessons
- Year 11: Five lessons
Homework is set at least three times each half term for all-year groups.
Enrichment
There are many opportunities for students to expand their mathematical knowledge through our extensive enrichment and extra curricular programme including Maths Clinics, Weekly Maths Challenge, UKMT National Maths Challenges, RITANGLE Challenge, National Cipher Competitions, Maths Week, Coding, Calculator Crunch, Open University Lectures, Number Days & Pi Day.
Schemes of Learning
Each faculty has developed a Scheme of Learning for each subject and year group. The Schemes of Learning outline the curriculum journey that students will embark on each academic year.
