Our aim is for this subject to be entertaining and stimulating so that pupils understand the relevance of what they learn and how it can be applied to real-life situations outside of school. Our priority is to develop the students’ confidence so that they do not feel embarrassed when they make mistakes and are never afraid to try new challenges. Outcomes - Students get top grades in maths and can continue maths into 6th form Supporting Students - We have a fantastic numeracy intervention programme to support students. Careers - numeracy skills are fundamental to all careers. Key Stage 3 In Key Stage 3, students follow the challenging International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme. This programme has led to our students making better than average progress in internationally recognised tests. Key Stage 4 In Key Stage 4, students complete GCSE maths.
