From the Head of Secondary

We are very excited to inform you about some changes that are underway in our Mathematics Department. Traditionally in schools, it has been extremely difficult for one teacher to cater to the learning needs of 20 individual students. As a result, not every student has experienced success in mathematics, with many students finding it particularly stressful or difficult. Our teaching team is now working very hard to change that, by changing the structure of our Mathematics curriculum so that instead of all students learning the same topic at the same time, each student will focus on only what they are ready to learn. This means that every student can experience success in Mathematics.

Our Mathematics team will be sending home further communication to parents about these changes and we will be holding an information session later in the term. In the meantime, we encourage you to chat with your child about about what it means to have a growth mindset (you can find out more about this at  https://www.mindsetkit.org/growth-mindset-parents).
