Why we study Mathematics
All students study a mathematics course which is stimulating, exciting and planned to encourage enjoyment of mathematics throughout life.

We aim to challenge and stretch students of all abilities and to equip them with the skills and understanding in mathematics needed in future.

In Years 7-11, they will be following ‘Kangaroo Maths’ www.kangaroomaths.com.  Below is the progression route they will be following.

All students will be sitting 1 – 9 examinations 5 times per year in preparation for their GCSE’s in Mathematics.  Students will have full access to ‘Maths Watch’ www.mathswatchvle.com to support them with their preparation for their exams.

All students at Ridgeway are following a five year GCSE in Mathematics.  We suggest that all students use MathsWatch to support their independent learning.  Please click on the link for guidance on how-to-use-MathsWatch
