The Mathematics department is an enthusiastic team of 4 men and 4 women with over ninety years teaching experience between them. All are willing to take a personal interest in each of their students.

Most of the Mathematics teaching occurs in specialist rooms, the majority being on the top floor of the main teaching block close to the Department Resource area. Three of these rooms are equipped with Interactive Whiteboards.
