“In Maths, we strive to ensure that all pupils develop a resilient and logical mind-set. We ensure all pupils leave Moreton school with courage and a broad set of transferable problem-solving skills, which will enable them to react confidently and embrace all mathematical aspects of each academic, social and professional challenge ahead.” – Moreton’s Maths Department.
