Department Vision
The intent of the Mathematics Department at the Abbey School is to provide all students with a high-quality and balanced Mathematics education, building a foundation of knowledge and skills required to understand the world. Mathematics is an interconnected discipline, essential to life and the world in which students live and work. In a rapidly changing world, it is our intent to equip students with the knowledge they need to progress into further academic and vocation studies and the world of employment. We want them to be prepared with the ability to think critically, apply logic and be confident to explore all avenues with the tools they have developed within their education, navigating their next steps with confidence. We intend the curriculum to be rigorous, sequenced and cohesive, engaging students at all levels and advocating that Maths is more than just numeracy. Nurturing the mathematical ability of students through the inclusive structures and features of an Abbey education allows students to rise to high expectations, develop their ambition and awareness through cross-curricular and everyday applications, and ignite interests in applied and practical mathematical connections that may have previously been unbeknownst to them.
