Key Stage 3 Mathematics

Pupils in year 7, 8 and 9 follow an adaptation of the excellent White Rose Maths scheme of work. Topic lists can be found at the bottom of this page.

This scheme of work has been carefully designed to support pupils depth of understanding, making links between different areas of Mathematics and to quickly develop their critical thinking and problem solving skills.

There is an increased focus through the scheme of work to ensure that pupils develop a deep understanding of the mathematics they are being taught. This helps master the basic skills and techniques needed for future mathematical success.

Pupils will complete in-class assessments for all topics covered in a Mid-Term test. These will be self-marked and teachers will guide pupils on how they can improve.

Pupils will also complete a cumulative end of half-term assessment. These will assess all content learnt up until that point. These will be teacher marked. Following each assessment pupils will receive detailed feedback via a personalised QLA which will give a breakdown of marks achieved and where extra support is needed.
