Academy Transformation Trust

Mildenhall Academy is part of the Academy Transformation Trust family of academies.

We believe every child matters and deserves a first class education. Our team knows first-hand how to make education better for schools, pupils and their teachers.

For us, the future of UK education relies upon schools working closely together to share best practices, giving every child the best chance in life. We set up ATT to make this vision a reality.

As a not for profit trust, we work with our growing family of primary and secondary academies and further education provider in the Midlands, East of England and South East.

Our mission is to provide the very best education for all pupils and the highest level of support for our staff to ensure every child leaves our academies with everything they need to reach their full potential.

Mathematics

Subject Intent

The overarching aim of the Mathematics Faculty is that ‘all our students, regardless of background or ability, will become inquisitive, analytical and independent learners who can apply their understanding to a wide range of familiar and unfamiliar contexts.’

Our Key Stage 3 curriculum focuses on developing our students’ resilience with inquiry-based tasks; allowing for opportunities to spot patterns, predict outcomes and form sound understanding of the fundamental structures of maths.

At Key Stage 4 we aim to build on the foundations of Year 7 and 8 by continuing to explore new themes with the use of rich tasks and goal-free problems, familiarising students with key concepts and ideas for long-term recall.

At Key Stage 5 we offer courses to cater for all students continuing to study maths, whether that is; learning and applying maths to real world contexts in Level 3 Core Maths or extending techniques learnt at GCSE and introducing new methods and concepts in A-level Maths. For those students who are potentially interested in pursuing Maths-related careers upon leaving Year 13, we offer A-level Further Maths. We also continue to support those students with resits who are yet to achieve a Grade 4 at GCSE.
