Maths

We strive towards ensuring that all our pupils develop a positive attitude towards mathematics, and we aim to equip all children with the skills and resilience they need. We recognise the importance of mathematics in everyday life, and we aim to equip all pupils with the skills and confidence to solve a range of problems through fluency with numbers and mathematical reasoning.

The national curriculum for mathematics aims to ensure that all pupils:

  • Become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, including through varied and frequent practice with increasingly complex problems over time, so that pupils develop conceptual understanding and the ability to recall and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately.

  • Reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry, conjecturing relationships and generalisations, and developing an argument, justification or proof using mathematical language

  • Can solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of routine and non-routine problems with increasing sophistication, including breaking down problems into a series of simpler steps and persevering in seeking solutions.
