Mathematics

At Kibworth we follow an ambitious curriculum that drives all of our learners to make good progress in mathematics. It is designed to build deep understanding rather than surface fluency. Pupils meet each idea in a sequence that connects it to what they already know and they are expected to explain their reasoning, not only reach an answer. We also want pupils to enjoy the subject and throughout the curriculum we explore where mathematics can take them: the courses, the careers and the everyday decisions it opens up.

At GCSE we follow the AQA specification. Some pupils follow an accelerated Key Stage 4 course, which allows them to take Level 2 Further Mathematics and GCSE Statistics alongside GCSE Mathematics. These qualifications stretch our most able mathematicians and set them up well for A level mathematics at their future destinations.
