Our Mathematics Department aims to increase enjoyment, resilience, understanding and attainment in Maths. This is achieved through a mastery approach that develops pupils’ conceptual understanding of mathematics so that it can be applied to a variety of real-life situations, using complex reasoning and correct mathematical vocabulary.

 

In lessons, pupils have rich mathematical discussions, build resilience through complex problem solving and develop their fluency in mathematical methods with the main focus being on pupils acquiring a deep and long-term understanding of Maths.

​

We celebrate success throughout the department through Maths competitions (IAPS Maths Challenge, Sherborne Cracking the Code competition; UKMT Junior Maths Challenge); Maths ambassadors across the school and a weekly Maths Club. A number of our pupils have achieved success in academic scholarships to a variety of senior schools, including receiving The Srinivasa Ramanujan Mathematics Award.
