Oaks Park High School in Essex has an outstanding maths department. What makes it tick? In this last episode of the series we find out why strong leadership and a broad-based maths curriculum are seen as key factors in that equation. Students are given the option to study for a statistics GCSE and a Further Maths Qualification. The department has assigned each student on the C/D booster programme their own mentor - one member of the maths team who they regularly meet to update on progress. But in a departmental staff meeting, programme leader Raj Jutley discovers not all students are meeting up with their mentor. Following the mock GCSE maths exam results, Raj is worried the department will not hit their target. One reluctant student, who was given a second chance to stay on the booster course, refused to sit the mock exam. Though he plans to resit his maths GCSE in June, it'll be without extra support. Find out if he and the booster group succeed in their resits.
