Mathematics is the brain's sharpener.

Aim

We believe that Mathematics is for everyone and our vision is to provide ‘Quality First’ teaching, a range of appropriate resources and learning experiences to enable all pupils to achieve the mathematical aims of fluency, reasoning and problem-solving. We aim to instil confidence, enjoyment, competence and independence in all of our pupils. We believe that by encouraging and promoting effort, collaborative learning and a ‘can do’ attitude, all pupils can achieve and enjoy Mathematics.

Approach

In preparation for everyday life, pupils become fluent in calculation and make sense of the world around them through developing their reasoning and problem-solving strategies.

Our progressive curriculum encompasses, at an age-appropriate level: Number, Shape, Space and Measure, Statistics and Algebra, and we deepen pupils’ understanding by exploring a range of concrete, pictorial and abstract representations. Pupils are challenged by being offered rich and sophisticated problems. Children are encouraged to share their ideas and are nurtured to become independent in their critical thinking.
