Maths

PythagorasMaths is taught from the beginning of KEY STAGE 1, Year 1 and continues up to KEY STAGE 4, Year 11 GCSE.

Whether your child is struggling, or is a high-achiever in Mathematics, we can devise the most appropriate route to success. This will be taught at a level at which your child will feel comfortable and confident about succeeding.

For younger children, The After-School Learning Centre follows the Numeracy Strategy of the National Curriculum from Years 1 to 9.

For children who are in the first six years of their schooling, numeracy is based on teaching through a variety of materials, including: classroom activities, worksheets and textbooks.

From Years 7 to 9, teaching is based on materials which will lead to success in GCSE Maths during Years 10 and 11.

Following an initial assessment, a dedicated programme of work will be tailored to suit your child’s learning style.

Each child will work at their own level, being given personal targets at which to aim. If your child is hoping to gain a place at a Select School, then The After-School Learning Centre can structure your child’s work to suit the entrance requirements. There is no limit to the LEVEL which a child may attain as we do not constrain children by their age or school year.

Children in Year 10 will follow the National Curriculum, unless a parent requires a particular topic to be highlighted. The After-School Learning Centre can adjust work to suit current weaknesses, monthly tests or mock exams.

Past practice papers and Texts form the major part of the teaching at The After-School Learning Centre for children preparing for GCSE Maths in Years 10 and 11.
