Mathematics & Further Maths

What are we trying to achieve with our curriculum?

At the end of each term and year, all pupils will have completed the content in the scheme of work, which is also broken down into half termly programmes of study to support departments and teachers with their time management. The curriculum has been carefully designed to continuously interleave content, enabling pupils to revisit prior knowledge without having a spiral curriculum. The curriculum focuses on teaching in a sequence that provides building blocks for pupils to access future topics. To support and challenge our pupils, we use carefully constructed resources that exemplify accessible methods for students and teachers. We provide an opportunity for challenge by depth rather than accelerating through the Curriculum. In Key Stage 4, exam questions focusing on the specification objectives AO1/2/3 are used, when appropriate, to assess understanding of core fluency and application of it in context.
