He recently returned from being a school Principal in Kuwait, to Suffolk, where for several years he had been Head of Mathematics at Framlingham College. The modular scheme is adopted, allowing students to choose the appropriate combination of areas of Mathematics to complement their other studies and reinforce their career path. The department will continue to respond to the changing demands placed on it by both external and internal forces.
Nothing is taken for granted, in spite of the excellent results so far achieved.
Year cohorts are generally organised into broad ability divisions, though these are never set in stone - regular assessment and discussion about students ensure that movement can occur between divisions when this is likely to be to the advantage of the girl concerned. A Level Mathematics students participated in the UK Senior Mathematical Challenge. Together with over 50,000 top Mathematicians in the country they sat a 90 minute paper specially designed to test their analytical skills. Ming Zhu Ming Zhu, a student from China who has an interview at St. Hilda's College, Oxford later this month, was placed in the top 150 of the 51,000 competitors and she has been invited to participate in the first round of the UK Mathematical Olympiad to be held in January. She is the first girl from Saint Felix to have achieved this honour.
