The Mathematics Department aims to:

Chemistry & Maths
Pupils are also encouraged to take part in both the UK Intermediate and Senior Mathematics Challenges, with considerable success.
All pupils take Edexcel IGCSE Higher Level Mathematics at the end of Fifth Form (Year 11) and the top two divisions also take AQA Additional Further Mathematics. Many of our pupils continue to study the subject successfully in the Sixth Form and beyond. Universities and employers value Mathematics, particularly in the fields of Law, Computing, Science, Engineering and Economics.
