    In KS3 student’s learning progresses through the NC subject content at appropriate levels for them. Four lessons a week cover Number, Measurement, Geometry, Statistics, Time and Money.The syllabus continues into KS4 with consolidation of subject content and an emphasis on securing time and money skills. We emphasise the teaching of Life Skills around time, money management, travel skills and measurement. We want to equip all our students with the basic numeracy skills to live as independent an adult life as possible. Groups of students are taken shopping to purchase best value goods, use self-service and staffed checkouts and develop the skills of paying and receiving change.

    Despite students working at lower NC levels than their mainstream peers, we always ensure that content is delivered through age appropriate texts and resources. We provide individualised learning through practical activities. Adaptation, differentiation and specific maths language teaching enable students to reach their potential in maths regardless of their literacy levels.
