| Abstract | The maths results at Broadoaks Mathematics and Computing College in Weston-super-Mare have risen from 30% A*-C in 2003 to 50% in 2007. This programme looks at a day in the life of the maths faculty and finds out how it has achieved such remarkable results. We drop in on the booster breakfast , where students about to take their GCSE maths get some last-minute tips. Later that morning we visit head of maths Rob Skeen's Year 11 class, where the students get to grips with the skills needed for achieving different grades. After lunch, we eavesdrop on a maths faculty meeting about student tracking. After the end of lessons at 3.15pm, there's still a lot going on: revision clubs for students who need more help or somewhere quiet to work; maths ambassadors - Year 11 students - teaching Year 7 students; a parent and child getting some extra coaching from Rob. There's also an Aim Higher Evening for parents and students - an opportunity to find out about education after school. |
