Considered by many at AS/A2 to be one of the hardest courses BRGS has to offer, Maths is one of those subjects that you either get or you don't. If you get it you'll proceed through two years without having to visibly think in one of your lessons and get a shiny A grade at the end of it. if you don't get it you'll have a depressing time as you struggle through masses of homework with only a D or less for your trouble.
The course is taught by Mr Reeves, Mrs Chapman, Mr Wilbraham, Mrs Kennedy and soon if not already, Mrs Mazzina and maybe Dr Bradshaw . Lessons are generally taught in the extension corridor or in the 'temporary' Maths block which has been present longer than any student in the school. Lessons also frequently take place in Room 82.
