They will be required to develop their problem solving and reasoning skills to effectively apply this knowledge to successfully answer a range of probing mathematical questions and problems.
We believe that Maths lessons should be enjoyable, accessible and applicable. The subject is relevant to everyone. The cultural aspects of the development of mathematics are explored and the universality of the subject is celebrated. We strive to develop the philosophy of achievement, to create an environment where all students develop the desire to improve, to take responsibility for their learning and to extend this development inside and outside of the classroom.
