Mathematics at Kimbolton School
Mathematics at Kimbolton School
Our Mathematics Department is dedicated to helping pupils achieve.
We offer a range of qualifications to suit our pupils’ abilities so that the least able receive a solid grounding in all aspects of Mathematics while, at the opposite end of the ability spectrum, our most gifted mathematicians are fully stretched.
We run a help desk most lunchtimes in the week and in the run up to examinations we are accessible and willing to help throughout the day.
We encourage pupils to seek assistance outside lessons and our Fifth and Sixth Formers really appreciate the time we give them to help maximise their potential grades.
