Key Stage 3
Mathematics
At Key Stage 3 we have introduced a new scheme of work following the new national curriculum. This aims to prepare pupils for the new GCSE examinations which began in 2017. We use a variety of interactive tasks to ignite a passion for mathematics, as well as lessons on proof and rich learning tasks where pupils have more time to explore the complexities of the topics involved.
