This variety of academic backgrounds is a key strength of the Department and we welcome applications from teachers who have a Mathematical or Technical Degree.

Examination results are excellent with 50.8% achieving Grade 9 and 94.5% achieving Grades 9-7 in 2018. The two top sets in Year 11 take one of two freestanding Mathematics qualifications.
