What does the course cover? The programme of study and curriculum links
The Wolsey Hall Year 7 Maths course follows the National Curriculum for England at Key Stage 3 Links to an external site. and the Lower Secondary Maths course as a whole (Years 7-9) meets all the requirements of the Cambridge Lower Secondary Curriculum.
We have ensured that all of the National Curriculum outcomes are covered in the course and the table below provides an overview of how the Wolsey Hall course can be mapped to the Mastering Mathematics Book 1 coursebook and to the National Curriculum for England and the Cambridge Lower Secondary Maths curriculum.
Note The Lower Secondary Maths course as a whole (Years 7-9) meets all the requirements of the Cambridge Lower Secondary Curriculum.
