Mathematics at Ffynone House School in Swansea

The Mathematics Department aims to provide courses in mathematics that are designed to meet the needs and abilities of every pupil. The average class size for Mathematics is around 12 pupils, which naturally enables very close attention to be paid to individual needs.  Every pupil is issued with an appropriate textbook that closely supports the scheme of work for any year. 

Additional Mathematics

For those pupils who particularly enjoy maths or wish to study it at AS-level or beyond, a course in additional maths is available in one of the optional 'lines' for key stage 4.  This means that the standard four lessons each week will be supplemented with a further three lessons to study the extra material in parallel with GCSE.

GCSE Statistics

GCSE Statistics has recently been added as an extra curricular option.

Mathematics at AS and A Level

Our sixth form has the opportunity to study mathematics at AS and A level in pure mathematics, mechanics and statistics and currently follow the WJEC examination specifications.  Lessons are tutorial in nature with small groups of around three or four students being commonplace.
