Maths Mission Statement

The Newlands Mathematics Department aims to provide professional, enthusiastic and diverse mathematics lessons in a helpful, friendly and supportive environment.

We believe Newlands Girls should be independent learners, capable of excelling at all challenges. We encourage the girls to strive for academic excellence through meaningful extension activities.

We expect Newlands Girls and Staff to be dedicated, hard-working and committed to their Mathematics.

Opportunities

Wednesday Maths Club

Every Wednesday afternoon from 3:15 p.m. – 4.00 p.m.  The Maths Department offers “Maths Club” to students, where they can come and get help with their homework, assignments or general understanding. This is conducted by Maths staff and the Maths Captains.

Maths Captains

Maths Captains are appointed in Year 13 and their role is to support the Maths Department. They do this by attending KS3 classes and helping students, organise and promote “Maths Club” and help “World of Maths Day”.

Equipment

We expect all girls to have a ruler, calculator, protractor and compass during lessons.

The Department sells calculators for £5.50 and maths sets for £1.50.
