Our teaching of mathematics covers the key strands identified in the National Curriculum: number, calculation, geometry, measures and statistics.  Understanding mathematical concepts within these areas, and being fluent and confident in using them, are key skills, which support success across the wider curriculum.  It is vital that our pupils learn to make connections, to apply logic, and to use their knowledge and skills to solve increasingly complex problems.  Pupils are encouraged to talk about their mathematical ideas, their workings and their solutions in a classroom culture where being willing to challenge yourself and have a go, without fear of failure, is of the utmost importance. 

We follow the White Rose mathematics scheme, which teaches key content in blocks, gradually moving from fluency to reasoning and problem solving, once a concept has been mastered.  Support and challenge are built in, so all pupils are encouraged to see themselves as capable mathematicians and to achieve their best possible outcomes.
