The Maths department at The Lowry Academy aims to provide students with a secure understanding of mathematical knowledge, categorised according to the following areas: number, algebra, geometry, ratio and proportion, probability, and statistics, meeting the needs of the National Curriculum at KS3 and KS4. The focus of the curriculum is to develop procedural knowledge of the fundamental elements of mathematics in order for students to access further problem solving elements and reason mathematically, whilst fostering a love of maths.
In mathematics our aim is to secure retention of knowledge and a depth of learning which results in students who are confident in taking their studies to the next level, whether that be further qualifications, higher education or into the workplace. We are committed to providing an inclusive curriculum, celebrating and championing diversity and individuality in mathematics.
