Vision Statement

More and more subjects come to depend upon mathematical tools and there is a national shortage of people with these skills. Mathematics will equip you with the necessary skills to cope with numerous jobs and higher education courses. This is particularly true with scientific, technical, financial or management careers. Mathematics is an important subject in the study of Engineering, Computing and Physics.

A good A level in mathematics will ensure you are taken seriously by universities or in job interviews. The mathematics course allows you to build on GCSE work and involves new ideas and powerful techniques for solving problems. The mathematics units aim to develop your ability to solve problems and to communicate clearly with mathematical language, as well as increasing your knowledge and enjoyment of this important subject.

In recent years Walsall Academy students have progressed to study mathematics at the best of British universities including Oxford, Birmingham, Durham and Warwick.
