Maths

At Old Buckenham High School, Mathematics is much more than just numbers and equations—it’s a way of thinking, solving problems, and understanding the world. Our Maths curriculum is designed to develop critical thinking skills, logical reasoning, and a deep understanding of mathematical concepts that our students can apply in everyday life and beyond.

Guided by our values of Community, Ambition, and Respect, the study of Maths at OBHS equips students with the tools to think analytically, reason logically, and solve problems with confidence. From the basics of arithmetic to the complexities of algebra, geometry, and calculus, our curriculum provides a structured pathway for students to build their skills and achieve their potential.

We believe that everyone can succeed in Maths, and we work to create a supportive and inclusive environment where students can overcome challenges, build resilience, and develop a love for the subject. Whether solving practical problems, exploring abstract concepts, or working through puzzles, students are encouraged to think creatively, persevere, and collaborate with others.

Maths is not just a key academic subject—it’s also essential for understanding the world around us. From managing finances to interpreting data, the problem-solving skills developed in Maths are vital for success in many areas of life. Our students gain the confidence and skills to navigate both academic and real-world challenges with clarity and precision.

Beyond the classroom, Maths is brought to life through a variety of extra-curricular opportunities, including Maths challenges, competitions, and revision clubs. These experiences encourage students to extend their learning and engage with Maths in fun and meaningful ways.
