The team is enthusiastic, supportive, and committed to reflective practice, with staff regularly sharing ideas and effective strategies to enhance classroom experience. At Key Stage 3, students of all abilities are taught in ability-based sets, with smaller class sizes supporting those who require additional help. Baseline assessments in Year 8 are used to inform teaching, monitor progress, and support effective target-setting. At Key Stage 4, students are prepared for CCEA GCSE Mathematics or OCN Level 1 and Level 2 Application of Number qualifications. In Year 12, nine classes are entered for GCSE Mathematics across both Higher and Foundation tiers, while an additional class follows the OCN pathway. Opportunities for further challenge are provided through GCSE Further Mathematics and GCSE Statistics, both offered alongside Higher Tier GCSE Mathematics. At post-16 level, Lagan College offers CCEA A Level Mathematics, with an increasing number of students choosing to continue their studies in the subject. The department places a strong emphasis on engaging and innovative teaching approaches. In recent years, staff have developed a range of resources to support active learning. Mathematical games and problem-solving activities are also encouraged to promote interest and enjoyment beyond the standard curriculum. Student progress is closely monitored, with tracking and target-setting forming a key part of the departments approach to supporting achievement and continuous improvement.
