MATHEMATICS
The role and place of Mathematics in today’s educational landscape is becoming
increasingly more important. Largely most subjects especially the sciences have huge
Mathematical content. It is therefore very important that your child make great progress
in Mathematics in order to expand the opportunities that they have for a future career.
Our work is focused on helping our students have a deeper knowledge of the subject, reinforcing core mathematics skills frequently to ensure that your child is secure in their knowledge. The Lextra curriculum focuses on depth of understanding to enable our students gain confidence necessary for problem solving which is increasingly becoming the standard in Mathematics. Our regular testing and feedback enables us to identify knowledge gaps with students along with providing targeted intervention and support.

- Space and Geometry
- Numbers
- Statistics and Probability
ENGLISH
Our English provision is aimed at ensuring that our students cover all the areas

SCIENCE
Science is a core subject and often split into 3; Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Most
schools make Sciences compulsory placing it in a group of subjects that cannot be
avoided. Students need a variety of skills that varies depending on which of the sciences
the content is based on. So often it is easy to see students doing very well in one
science subject and not so well in others. At LEXTRA, we aim to focus on helping
students.
Develop the following competencies:
- A good knowledge of scientific vocabulary, units and symbols
- Knowledge of scientific theories and methodologies
- Analytics, reasoning and evaluation skills
- A solid mathematics competence necessary to apply to especially Physics and Chemistry
