What makes Mathematics at Wycombe High School so special? In this week’s Head’s Up!, Headteacher Nicola Renyard puts the spotlight on our outstanding Mathematics Department, celebrating exceptional teaching, remarkable results and a passion for problem-solving.
Filmed in the Main Hall, where 158 Year 12 and Year 13 students took part in the UK Mathematics Trust Senior Maths Challenge yesterday, the programme features interviews with Subject Leader for Mathematics Mr Gomme, Maths teacher Mr Cudmore and two Year 12 A-level Mathematics students.
The conversations explore the department’s commitment to inspiring and challenging young mathematicians, from their first days in Year 7 through to A-level study.
And the results speak for themselves. Last summer, some of our GCSE Mathematics students achieved an extraordinary perfect 100%, reflecting the high standards, dedication and academic ambition that characterise Mathematics at Wycombe High.
We also hear from a student who joined our Sixth Form this September, attracted specifically by the school’s reputation for outstanding Mathematics teaching, alongside a student who has enjoyed studying Mathematics at Wycombe High since Year 7.
Together, their experiences provide a fascinating insight into why Wycombe High continues to be such an attractive choice for academically ambitious young women, both at Year 7 and Sixth Form.
The programme concludes with a performance of Carly Simon’s uplifting ‘Let The River Run’ by our wonderful Senior Choir, rehearsing for the forthcoming Autumn Concert.
