Department vision and approach
At Bedford, our vision for the mathematics department is to cultivate a deep appreciation for the subject, encouraging students to engage with and enjoy their mathematical studies. We are committed to ensuring that each student leaves our department with a strong foundation of knowledge and practical skills that highlight the real-world relevance of Mathematics. By fostering a comprehensive understanding of numeracy, we aim to equip all students with the essential tools they need to navigate daily life and succeed in their personal and professional futures. Our goal is to empower every individual with the confidence and competence to use Mathematics effectively, both in academic settings and in the broader world as responsible, capable adults.
In KS3 and KS4, students follow a scheme of work adapted from White Rose Maths but tailored to the needs of Bedford students. This builds on learning from Key Stage 2 and promotes depth of understanding along with problem solving and knowledge retention.
At GCSE, we follow a linear two-tier curriculum, assessed through Edexcel. This approach builds on students\' prior knowledge, with regular assessments to identify and address any gaps in learning. We ensure that each student is entered for the appropriate tier based on their progress and understanding.
Above all, our goal is to inspire a genuine love for Mathematics in our students, encouraging them to explore the topics we cover and empowering them to tackle more complex mathematical challenges. We are seeking to appoint a staff member who shares these values and is committed to providing students with the best possible learning experience in Mathematics.
