Throughout their mathematical learning journey, staff encourage students to embrace mistakes as learning opportunities and support them to solve problems that are of increasing difficulty through a ‘can do’ culture.
We aim to develop young people who are maths confident and who have the skills needed to be successful in life.
At Hawkley our intent is to deliver a curriculum of mathematics that is suitable and enjoyable for all, ensuring that all students are able to make progress in and enjoy the experience of learning the subject.
