All pupils follow the same course at the start of Year 7 and are placed in sets from January. Every pupil is taught the whole syllabus, with higher ability classes looking more deeply into certain topics. The level of work is based on, but consistently beyond, the national curriculum expectations.

In Key Stage 4 students complete IGCSE Mathematics with students sitting the higher tier examination. In 2023, 43% achieved a grade 9 and 83% achieved 9-7 grades. The top set also study Level 2 Further Mathematics, sitting both qualifications at the end of Year 11 and 71% of students achieved a grade 9 and 100% achieved at least a grade 8 in this qualification.

We also involve students in a broad range of mathematical activities beyond the classroom including the UKMT Maths Challenges and the Hans Woyda competition.

Our Sixth Form work focuses on A-levels in Mathematics and Further Mathematics. In 2023 56% of A-level students achieved an A* and 83% gained grades A*/A. In addition, 73% of Further Mathematics students achieved an A* grade and 100% achieved A*/A. Results over the last three examinable years have propelled the department to the top 10% of all independent schools for value added at A-level.
