As a result, both the leaders and students are looking for high-calibre staff who are committed to delivering outstanding teaching and learning opportunities for all.
At KS3 we follow the White Rose scheme of work, with access to all of the premium resources on the website. KS4 students currently study the AQA maths linear qualification and there is an opportunity for the most able students to sit AQA Further Maths level 2 qualification in year 11.
