The Department

Smithdon High School Mathematics Department consists of six highly motivated teachers with varied experience and personalities. The members of the department work very much as a team where the individual contribution is valued. Teaching approaches are discussed freely in order to promote greater continuity and progression in students’ learning.

This forward-thinking and supportive team seeks to promote Mathematics both within and outside the classroom. Pupils are encouraged to participate in school-based and national competitions, including UKMT—Junior & Intermediate; Mathsfests.

The department is well-resourced and IT is used to aid learning and raise attainment via extensive use of Promethean Boards and access to PCs.

The department continues to work hard to maintain a high standard in GCSE Examinations.
