Mathematics |
Mathematics is a vital subject that is crucial for many science, product design, geography, business and Engineering disciplines. Students are made aware of real-life opportunities and implications of numbers. Numbers are everywhere and our students will leave Ercall wood Academy knowing the relevance of Mathematics to other fields of study, the world of work and to society in general.
Mathematics lessons take place in the rooms along the first-floor corridor, 8 hours per fortnight.
