Today we ran our first walking talking mock with Year 11 ahead of GCSE Paper 1. Students were fantastic and benefitted from the expertise of Mr Sheldon and Dr Hawkins as experienced and current GCSE Maths examiners. Well done guys!

Year 7, 8 and 9 were lucky enough to have a talk exploring the real world applications of Maths yesterday. Some highlights were discussing the Maths of hairdressing, estimating & modelling, including a sneaky bit of getting the audience wet!

We have installed whiteboards around some of our Maths rooms. This allows our students to work together, problem solve, compete and reinforce their knowledge.
Y10 enjoyed using them to solve some lovely tricky conditional probability questions

Year 10 have been solving simultaneous equations in the last week. They have done brilliantly, and all completed a real world task about an infamous fast food chain.

A huge thank you to Mr Read, Mr Sheldon, Mrs Williamson, Miss Edmunds, Mr McCarthy, Mrs Wood and Mrs Salter. Running a residential trip abroad is no easy feat and without them it would have been impossible. We hope y9 made some fantastic memories.
