KS3 MATHEMATICS
In KS3, students have eight maths lessons a fortnight and cover topics from all the main strands of mathematics outlined by the National Curriculum. This give students a broad and balanced view of the subject and ensure that they have the key skills required to succeed in their mathematics GCSE, as well as function numerically after they leave education.
