As a Maths and Computing specialist school, our aim is to provide stimulating new learning opportunities for pupils which will capture their interest and further increase their enthusiasm and success in all aspects of their school life.

Maths Challenge

The school prides itself in developing many highly skilled mathematicians. Last year 56 pupils from years seven and eight entered the National Maths Challenges at Junior level. 36 pupils achieved awards, with 8 earning gold, 17 winning silver and 11 getting bronze.

Our top junior mathematician was a year eight pupil whose performance placed her in the top half percent nationally. She has been invited to take part in the elite Junior Mathematical Olympiad which will take place later in the year.

Year 8 pupils participated in the Enterprising Maths Team Challenge and the winners went on to represent the school in the regional finals at King's College, London. These exceptional Mathematicians are challenged even further by helping them take GCSE Maths in Year 10 and move on to A level study in Year 11.

Furze Platt also hosted a special Celebrating Maths event where primary school pupils from local schools joined in a variety of activities including problem solve, code breaking and exhibitions.
