There is a wealth of co-curricular Mathematics on offer, including Maths Clinic, the Hans Woyda competition, and the UKMT National Mathematical Challenges which we enter students for at Junior, Intermediate and Senior levels. In addition to this, sixth form students are also offered the opportunity to attend external lectures by leading mathematicians. The successful candidate will be prepared to accompany and supervise students on various extracurricular trips, enhancing the learning experience beyond the classroom.
