We run Saturday revision classes for GCSE pupils and are here to help pupils through extra classes after school as required.

Maths trips included a visit to Gresham University for Year 10/11 pupils who attended a lecture on the maths behind ‘gambling, game shows and horse betting’. This year we have a similar lecture planned about maths and sports.
Year 9 attended the British Museum where they took part in an exciting maths trial

Gifted and Talented students from Years 7, 8 and 9 took part in the Maths Olympics Week where they competed against other students across the world. Gifted and Talented pupils also took part in the Maths Challenge Competition competing against the brains of London at Wembley High School.

We produce a monthly Maths Magazine which includes games, puzzles and up to date information on what’s happening in maths in the school. We also run a weekly maths club where pupils enjoy maths games, including planning and running sessions in linked primary schools using ICT. The pupils in the club also organised a paper airplane competition.

The department has Links to the Gambia where Mr Emmott visited some linked schools and took part in a maths project with the pupils over there.  We are also involved in some fund raising to help build a new school library for the school and raised almost £1000 towards the cause.
