Mathematics

Course summary

Mathematics is a powerful and beautiful subject in its own right, providing intellectual challenge and enjoyment. It is also the language of the sciences, providing the insights to understand our world and the tools to explain and potentially improve it. Mathematics plays a significant role in the life of the College. All of our Lower School and nearly 90% of our Sixth Form study Maths. The Mathematics department is impressively resourced, we have a large, experienced teaching team that is highly qualified. The passion and enjoyment of mathematics shared by both students and staff is palpable. Beyond exam study, mathematical opportunities are wide ranging, from small group study and enrichment sessions focusing on interesting and challenging mathematical concepts and problems, to clinics and workshops for any students needing or wanting a little more support. There are numerous opportunities for students to take part in national competitions, and several clubs and societies that appeal to mathematicians such as code breaking and informatics.
