The Mathematics Department here at Chesterton Community Sports College are extremely hardworking and committed to every child achieving their potential.  It is very successful with good results over recent years, with excellent progress measures.

The department is staffed by well qualified, specialist, experienced teachers and led by the head of department. The teaching rooms are well equipped and very spacious; they have stimulating displays and provide an excellent learning environment. The Mathematics curriculum is enriched with many extra-curricular activities including booster classes for GCSE students, competitions, puzzles and external visits to the Keele University Mathematics Department.   We also are able to provide intervention via team teaching sessions in normal timetabled lessons and also from the head of department during form time.

The department has delivered exciting and innovative projects as part of Creative Learning Week which includes collaborative projects with both the Computer Science and Technology departments. The ‘Create a Computer Game’ project is always well attended. A range of unique themed learning events such as Pi Day, a Code Breaking Challenge Day, Fairtrade Maths and Olympic Maths have all proved popular and stimulating.

Successes have been achieved in the UK Mathematics Challenges at both Junior and Intermediate Levels with Gold, Silver and Bronze awards all being gained.

Mathematics is a strong, innovative and forward-thinking core subject department, ready to meet the challenges posed by the evolving modern education system. The department, just like the whole school has excellent communication and electronic resources used in our day-to-day delivery.  Every student has use of their own personal iPad these are essential for our modern delivery and student feedback in our learning environment.
