What equipment does my child need for Mathematics? 

​

Please make sure your child is properly equipped with:

• Pens (Black and green)

• Pencils

• A ruler that can measures lines not just a straight edge

• A protractor and a pair of compasses

• A scientific calculator.  A Casio FX-83GT calculator fulfils the minimum requirement for GCSE, so will last them the full 5 years

 

What support is available at Burgate? 

​

We offer a range of support to help students complete homework and revise for tests. These include:

• Maths clinic which runs once a week on a Wednesday in room 3 (3-3:45) 

• HW support which runs once a week on a Tuesday in room 22 (3 – 3:45) 

• Computers can be accessed for students to complete their Sparx homework in the library and Wheeler building before school, after school and during lunchtime if needed 

• Students can speak to their classroom teacher on topics or questions they find difficult after having a go themselves
