Mathematics - KS3
In Years 7, 8 and 9 each year group is divided into 5 main sets, with an additional small group of students in Year 7 who have been identified as needing extra support to develop their core numeracy. With a focus on investigational and functional mathematics, students will develop their mathematical skills over the key stages.
