Maths at KS3

Students in Year 7 are taught in mixed ability sets for three weeks and are then placed into three ability sets. We focus on numeracy and problem solving in Year 7 in order to build confidence and skills.  In Year 8 and 9, students continue in three ability sets.Throughout Key Stage 3 we review students' progress and their set position. We believe that this enables students to work at an appropriate level of challenge and support, whilst not labelling them too early on.
