Curriculum Intent
The APHS Mathematics curriculum seeks to meet the aims and scope of the Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 National Curriculum. Further details of this can be found here.
The school curriculum seeks to provide outstanding personal development by supporting, promoting, and instilling the values of APHS - Ambition, Pride, Happiness, and Success. The Mathematics curriculum has the following intent
| Value | Intent |
| Ambition | To use mathematical skills to solve difficult problems that students have seen before and problems that they have no yet encountered. To enjoy struggle. |
| Pride | To work neatly, logically, and present work in a conscientious manner. To take pride in your strengths, but to strive to impress areas of weakness. |
| Happiness | To develop awe and wonder for how mathematical concepts and principles relate to our daily lives. To enjoy good teaching in a well-behaved environment. |
| Success | To develop high-quality numeracy skills as well as the fluency and confidence in Mathematics that allow students to access further education, high education, and a successful lifelong career in their chosen field |
Curriculum Implementation
Key Stage 3 is delivered in Years 7, 8, and 9 across three years. While students will start to encounter GCSE material and assessment methods during Year 9, Key Stage 4 is formally delivered in Years 10 and 11 across two years.
