Curriculum Design
We have taken time as a school to carefully consider our School Maths Vision and how we will make this a reality through a clear intent, solid implementation and carefully monitored impact. To read more details about this, you can read our school document in full by clicking on the button below:
Our School Maths Aims
The intention of the Maths curriculum is for children to be excited about Maths! Developing a positive attitude to this subject is essential. Teachers promote children’s enjoyment of Maths and provide opportunities for children to build a conceptual understanding of Maths before applying their knowledge to everyday problems and challenges. We ensure that challenge is provided for all children, whatever their understanding. Children are encouraged to be brave and push the boundaries, deepening their understanding further.
The only way to learn Mathematics is by doing Mathematics!
We aim for our pupils to:
become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, including through varied and frequent practice with increasingly complex problems over time, so that pupils have conceptual understanding and are able to recall and apply their knowledge rapidly and accurately to problems
reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry, conjecturing relationships and generalisations, and developing an argument, justification or proof using mathematical language
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.

Times Tables
When it comes to times tables, speed AND accuracy are important – the more facts your child remembers, the easier it is for them to do harder calculations.
Times Table Rock Stars is a fun and challenging programme designed to help children master the times tables! All children in Years 1-6 have their own login that they can use at school AND AT HOME!
