At Wellington, we believe that Maths lies not just at the heart of the curriculum but also at the heart of knowledge. A well-trained mathematician has great logical skills, tremendous analytical power and the ability to form connections between diverse fields.
We teach throughout the school by asking challenging questions and developing the tools and understanding to answer them. Lessons are highly interactive, and pupils are often encouraged to get up from their desks and work together in groups by writing on the (specially treated) walls. In this way, the pupils learn in a collaborative manner, building their confidence in numeracy and also nurturing their growth as independent learners and problem-solvers.
From Third Form to Upper Sixth we deliver an exciting package that focuses on problem solving and the development of critical thinking skills. We also offer a range of extension activities including a thriving Maths Society, preparation for university entrance and STEP examinations, and participation in national Maths Challenges and school competitions.
All middle school pupils take IGCSE Maths, both Maths and Further Maths are offered at A Level, and pupils studying the IB Diploma can choose from Analysis & Approaches or Applications & Interpretation courses at Standard or Higher Level.
