Mathematics

The world we live in is the way it is because of Mathematics.  Whether we get our techno-fun from a WAP mobile phone, a Playstation 3 or an MP3 player, it is ultimately the Mathematics behind the micro-technology that we have to thank for our 21st century toys.  Our aim in the Mathematics Department is to pass on to our pupils the power and beauty of Mathematics as it appears in their world.  We aim to give much more that a functional ability to deal with numbers.  Pupils learn to think critically, analytically and tangentially in their problem solving and gain the ability to apply their Mathematical skills in unfamiliar contexts.  Our hope is that pupils will find their Mathematics enjoyable as they surmount its challenges.
