What the college says

Just as languages provide the building blocks and rules we need to communicate, maths uses its own language, made up of numbers, symbols and formulas, to explore the rules we need to measure or identify essential problems like distance, speed, time, space, change, force and quantities. Maths helps us find patterns and structure in our lives. Practically, Maths helps us put a price on things, create graphics , build websites, build skyscrapers and generally understand how things work or predict how they might change over time and under different conditions. The topics covered are: -Number -Algebra -Ratio, proportion and rates of change -Geometry and measures -Probability -Statistics GCSE mathematics at grade C (or above) is a specified entry requirement for a wide range of careers and HE courses. Our students are at the heart of everything we do. Our outstanding, passionate staff are always striving for excellence and this positive culture has a real impact on the aspirations of our students.
