Maths at Hazelwick:

Our large and thriving Maths department is a fantastic and successful team with a wide range of experience and expertise that achieved a very positive Progress 8 score in 2024. Maths is a popular KS5 option, with eight A level Maths classes, two Further Maths A level classes and two Core Maths classes. There is a great deal of support and camaraderie within the department alongside many opportunities to share resources and good practice linked to our programmes of study, with the chance to add your own interpretations.
