• Curriculum Innovation: Utilizing digital tools and manipulatives to make invisible concepts tangible, integrating financial literacy and engineering contexts into the schemes of work.

• Exam Mastery: Guiding GCSE cohorts through the Edexcel or AQA specifications, using forensic data analysis and "walking talking mocks" to secure outstanding progress.

• Intervention Strategy: Identifying gaps in knowledge early and providing targeted support for students of all abilities, including high-prior attainers and those requiring additional numeracy support.
