The department caters for both more able and talented pupils, as well as pupils who find mathematics very difficult by offering a range of courses in addition to the GCSE. We offer WJEC Additional Mathematics for the more able in year 11 and also WJEC Entry Level for the less able pupils. Additional Mathematics grounds pupils in the basics of calculus and other topics which will be required at A-Level, and is highly valuable for anyone looking to take the subject further. Smaller class sizes are generally available for pupils who find mathematics particularly challenging. Therein they have the opportunity to gain grounding in the ‘basics’ before having the opportunity to move up if they show potential.
