In Mathematics, students are setted into three groups according to ability early in Year 7 (age 11 years). From Year 9 there are four sets working towards one (Mathematics) and possibly a second (Statistics) GCSE.

Group sizes at Key Stage 3 (Year 7-9, age 11-13 years) and KS4 are on average sixteen in number, and typically eight at AS/A level. Students are entered for Edexcel GCSE (modular) and AS/A level. Mathematics and Further Mathematics are offered at A level.

Able students in all years are entered for the UK Maths Challenges each year.

The department enjoys four designated Mathematics rooms. Interactive whiteboards and other technologies are available within the department.
