Maths

INTENT

The mathematics department follows the White Rose Scheme of Work. This work plan promotes reasoning and proficiency. The 'Small Steps' ensure that students may fill up any gaps in their knowledge. The foundation of White Rose Maths is the idea of "mastery" in math education. Mastery is viewed as a process rather than a final objective. Every year, the Schemes of Learning make sure that no student is left behind by guiding them through the National Curriculum's logical advances.

  • Our Key Stage 3 curriculum at Egerton High School is delivered using a theme-based approach that engages our students. The topics allow students to comprehend the importance of improving their foundational arithmetic abilities and the connections to the outside world. In addition to strengthening and expanding their grasp of mathematical ideas, students are able to advance their foundational abilities and work toward obtaining their GCSEs. Staff members help learners throughout the classroom, and depending on their particular needs, they may work on the same subject at varying levels. Throughout, independence is promoted and fostered, giving pupils greater self-assurance and preparing them for the move to Key Stage 4.

  • Every student in Key Stage 4 applies the concepts they acquired in order achieve their GCSE in mathematics. The AQA GCSE Mathematics (8300) specification is what we are currently using. At the conclusion of year 11, all pupils are registered for GCSEs. In order to be prepared for their year 11 final examinations, pupils in Key Stage 4 will take mock exams.
