Just as our first language is essential to learning and development, so is the use of mathematics. Society perhaps too often, however, dismisses mathematics as inaccessible, abstract and unnecessary. The courses the school provides serve both to accommodate the range of interests and abilities of our students, and to fulfil their requirements in terms of university and career aspirations.

Group 5 subjects: Maths Application and Interpretation, Maths Analysis and Approaches, Further Maths, Maths Studies.
We also include the Vectors course at Standard Level (SL).
