The Mathematics Department is situated close to the heart of the School and consists of a suite of six classrooms. The Department is centrally resourced and each classroom is connected to the network with mounted projectors frequently used as teaching aids. The eight full-time teaching staff boast a wealth of experience and include senior masters, housemasters both past and present, the Director of Information Systems and a senior examiner for Edexcel.
The subject is taught to both IGCSE and A level (Maths and Further Maths) and modules in Pure Maths, Mechanics and Statistics are offered. Students go on to study a variety of courses at University, including Business & Finance, Medicine, Engineering & Science and Mathematics.
The Maths Society is very active; the UK Maths Trust senior and intermediate challenge papers and Olympiad papers are sat each year and teams are regularly entered in UKMT inter-school competitions. Learning beyond the constraints of the syllabus is encouraged by in house lectures given by both members of the department and outside speakers. The Department aims to maintain its impressive trend of good results and to develop in Reptonians of all abilities an understanding and appreciation of Mathematics and Science. In their quest to solve academic problems through rigorous and logical thought processes, students should also appreciate the applications of Mathematics in both everyday life and in other school disciplines.
