Year 7
At the start of Year 7 girls are placed into sets according to their performance in the Entrance Exam. Pupils are assessed half-termly and frequent movement takes place between sets.
Key Stages
At Key Stage 3, pupils follow a course broadly in line with the National Curriculum and experience a wide variety of different teaching and learning methods.
At Key Stage 4 girls will be prepared for the Edexcel IGCSE Mathematics A exam.
Sixth Form
Girls who choose to study Maths in the Sixth Form will follow the Edexcel course. The AS comprises two core modules and a Statistics module. Pupils studying for a full A Level will cover the AS course in the first year and then go on to take two more core modules and a further applied module in Year 13. Further Maths is also offered as a separate AS or A level.
National Competitions
Able students are given the opportunity to take part in masterclasses run by the department and are also entered for national competitions such as the UK Maths Challenges
