Ofsted report
“The teaching of mathematics is good. Students rise to the regular oral mathematical challenges that teachers pose, working out mental calculations with increasing confidence. In books, work over time shows opportunities for students to apply their mathematical knowledge and deepen their understanding to solve everyday problems.”
