External examination results are consistently above the National  average at Key Stage 3, GCSE and A level. In light of National Curriculum changes and recognition of the need for on-going development, the schemes for KS3 and KS4 have been reviewed and reshaped.  A variety of text books are in use throughout the school, providing a rich scheme that draws upon a range of resources. 

The department has close links with local primary schools.  Special maths classes have been provided for the very able pupils from our main feeder schools.

All revisions guides are bought via the Maths department.
