Mathematics & Further Mathematics
At St Edmund’s School we strive to deliver a comprehensive and inclusive mathematical education for every pupil regardless of ability. Pupils are encouraged to connect different areas of mathematics with their real-world applications and the environment around them. Mathematics plays an ever-growing role in numerous fields and professions, and the aim of the IGCSE and A Level courses that we follow is to provide students with a solid base to allow them to thrive in their future pursuits.
Our teachers share a love of learning and collectively contribute their unique talents to the classroom setting, creating the nurturing and welcoming environment crucial for students to fulfil their potential in this subject. They demonstrate a genuine passion for their subject and employ a variety of approaches towards teaching and learning, to ensure active participation of pupils.
We have high expectations of our pupils and set challenging targets, with the most talented mathematicians encouraged to further their understanding by continuing their studies into the Sixth Form and beyond. To further enhance the experience of the pupils, we offer enrichment programmes and weekly support sessions beyond the classroom.
