Queen’s Mathematics department encourages all pupils to develop a positive attitude to the study of the subject. We aim to equip students with the knowledge, skills and understanding needed to apply a range of mathematical concepts to situations which may arise both inside the school and in the world beyond.
Pupils are set according to ability from the end of their first term in Class 3 upwards, allowing lower sets to benefit from a slower pace of working and smaller class sizes. All sets follow the same course leading to them sitting the Edexcel IGCSE (9-1) examination where we enjoy much success. Additionally, all pupils are offered opportunities for enrichment through problem-solving and many participate in various national competitions including the UKMT Maths Challenges.
A popular choice at A-Level, with some students also opting to study Further Mathematics, our students have an impressive record of success and progress on to a wide variety of courses at university which illustrate their awareness of the use of mathematics in other disciplines.
