Our Vision
We aim to enable students to develop a love of learning for the subject and an understanding that there are no limits to their own development in Maths and Computer Science.
According to Andreas Schleicher (Director for Education and Skills, and Special Advisor on Education Policy to the Secretary-General at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), “Good maths skills are the best protection against unemployment, low wages and poor health.” This is a responsibility that we, as a faculty, take very seriously as exemplified by our moto, “Every Child Counts”.

Enriching Learning
The application of mathematics is widespread in everyday life, even in areas which we may not be aware. The new GCSE curriculum reflects this with a new increased emphasis on contextual questions and problem solving rather than just the recall of mathematical methods. We also offer the Core Maths qualification for A Level students who do not wish to take a full Maths A Level. This new qualification is based around everyday mathematics rather than the more “pure” style of mathematics traditionally taught in schools.
We run a variety of computing related extr-curricular activities across the faculty, so there is something for everyone to enrich their learning and develop skills beyond the curriculum.. These include, video editing and production, Minecraft club, CyberFirst Girls competition, the BEDRAS competition and the iDEA Digital award.
