GCSE Mathematics
As you delve into the realms of trigonometry or algebra during your GCSE course, it is important to recognise that Mathematics is more than just a set of intricate rules or processes. A well-trained mathematician is not just good with numbers, but has great logical skills, tremendous analytical power and the ability to make connections across diverse fields. These are the skills which you will develop with your teacher over the duration of this course. Mathematics is not just at the heart of a school’s curriculum but it is also at the heart of knowledge. As Archimedes said, “There are many things that seem incredible to most who have not studied Mathematics.”

“I feel like I’ve made a lot of progress in Year 9 maths because of the brilliant teaching. We learn in a really settled environment so the teacher has lots of opportunity to help us individually if we need it.”
