  • develop fluent knowledge, skills and understanding of mathematical methods and concepts
  • acquire, select and apply mathematical techniques to solve problems
  • reason mathematically, make deductions and inferences, and draw conclusions
  • comprehend, interpret and communicate mathematical information in a variety of forms appropriate to the information and context​

Pupils will cover all 5 strands of the KS3 curriculum:
  • Number

Progress through the Curriculum involves 3 summative assessments throughout the year.

These assessments will also indicate if a pupil requires intervention as a form of subject support.
