Tailored Maths Education for Unique Learners
At Coggeshall Road Therapeutic Provision, we specialise in providing a supportive and personalised education for young people who may not thrive in mainstream school settings. Our Maths Department is dedicated to creating a learning environment where every student can succeed, regardless of their individual challenges.
Flexible and Individualised Learning
We understand that each student has unique learning needs, so our approach to teaching maths is tailored and flexible. With smaller class sizes, we can offer more personalised attention, ensuring that young people receive the support they need to build confidence and competence in maths.
Functional Skills Level 1 and 2
We offer Functional Skills Level 1 and 2 courses, which are designed to develop the practical maths skills that young people need for everyday life, work, and further education. These courses cover essential topics such as:
- Basic arithmetic
- Understanding and using fractions, decimals, and percentages
- Interpreting data
The emphasis is on real-world application, ensuring that young people can effectively use their maths knowledge in various practical contexts. All qualifications are accredited and can be taken at three different points during the academic year.
GCSE Maths Foundation Course
For young people on longer-term placements, we offer the GCSE Maths Foundation course. This course follows the national curriculum and is delivered in a supportive and adaptable environment. Our Maths Lead, who has nearly 20 years of experience teaching GCSE Maths, is skilled in working with a wide range of young people, including those with learning difficulties.
The GCSE Maths Foundation course prepares young people for their exams by covering core topics such as:
- Algebra
- Geometry
- Statistics
- Number operations
We provide extra support and alternative teaching methods to accommodate diverse learning styles, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to succeed.
Entry Level Maths Certificate
For young people who may find the standard GCSE curriculum challenging, we offer the Entry Level Maths Certificate (ELC). This qualification provides a foundation in basic mathematical concepts and skills, and can serve as a stepping stone to further qualifications, such as Functional Skills or GCSE Maths.
Building Confidence and Competence
At Coggeshall Road, we strive to build both confidence and competence in maths. Our goal is to help young people achieve the qualifications and practical skills they need to support their future educational and career aspirations. Whether through Functional Skills, GCSE Maths, or the Entry Level Maths Certificate, we are committed to helping every student reach their full potential.
