We aim to develop and stimulate our students’ curiosity and enjoyment in mathematics. Appropriate concepts, principles and methods are always related to real life subjects such as engineering, telecommunications,IT, financial trading and multinational business.
Students follow a common core syllabus, which is extended for those with higher capabilities. Students attaining grade B or higher are encouraged to study Pure Mathematics and Applied Mathematics at A-level.
A-Level Pure Mathematics is a collection of techniques for tackling problems and considerably extends the ideas introduced at GCSE. Applied Mathematics covers Mechanics and Statistics. In both subjects students learn how to simplify the complexity of the real world without losing the ability to make justifiable predictions about its behaviour.
Design and Technology
Design technology celebrates innovation and creativity with the application of 3D designing and making skills. Pupils learn hand tool skills and design processes to produce wood, metal and plastic products up to Year 9.
GCSE pupils answer real life design briefs to produce decorative and practical artefacts using traditional or modern materials and processes. Coursework is presented digitally on PowerPoint and CAD is developed to include CAM (Computer Aided Manufacture).
A-Level students adapt their skills to follow personal design interests such as Interior, Product or Environmental; Theatre, Television, Film or Exhibition; Jewellery and Body Adornment.
Regular trips are taken to the Design Museum and exhibitions. Industry links are also being developed to help pupils see design and manufacturing in practice. We hope to hear from parents with connections with any of the subject areas.
ICT
Pupils enjoy Information & Communications Technology lessons and practical workshops covering the skills required for GCSE and A-level. We have two computer rooms, one each for the Lower and Upper School. Each room consists of 20 networked PCs with scanners, smart board technology and printers. There are suites of Apple computers for Photography and Graphics, a separate suite for Media Studies and the Music department has a specialist network of computers for use as recording studios and composition.
ICT is compulsory up to Year 11. Pupils are taught practical skills with essential software required by the national curriculum. At Year 10, we offer two-year academic (GCSE) or vocational (ECDL) programs. Pupils study a GCSE short course and are taught using the courseware needed to obtain the European Computer Driving Licence (ECDL).
At the end of Year 10, the pupils who demonstrate outstanding ability may enter a full course ICT program. We also offer tuition at AS and A2 levels for pupils who have attained grade B or equivalent at GCSE.
