COURSE 2
In Course 2 pupils follow a broad general education course.  This course cover a variety of topics to give them a flavour of Mathematics at Secondary school level.  Courses 1 and 2 have two main strands: Algebra and Numerical skills.  Each block of work also covers another key skill from Level 3 or 4.

Pupils studying courses 1 and 2 will re-enforce their numeracy knowledge and skills using Numeracy Ninjas, ensuring they have sufficient numerical fitness.

At the end of each Block pupils will have the responsibility of evaluating their own learning and minimal time will be spent in class doing this, hence they must treat it as homework or revision material.  We would encourage all parents/carers to get involved in this.  The learning evaluation packs for each block are linked below.  Pupils will be required to master each topic before progressing, hence consolidation of content will be required where specific weaknesses are identified.

We use the mastery learning cycle to ensure teaching and learning is of the highest quality and no one moves on until they are ready to do so.  Click here for a detailed graphic on how this works.
