Maths

Mathematics at our school is built on a carefully sequenced, coherent journey from EYFS to Year 6, using the White Rose Scheme of Learning, which we thoughtfully adapt to suit the needs of our children. Our approach ensures that all pupils develop deep, lasting understanding of mathematical concepts, and feel confident in applying them across a range of contexts.

We have worked closely with the Maths Hub to embed a mastery approach, where children build strong conceptual understanding, fluency, and reasoning through small, carefully structured steps. In EYFS, early mathematical foundations are supported through rich, playful experiences using Numberblocks, Alphablocks, and Counting Collections, providing an engaging and meaningful start to their learning journey.

We recognise the importance of discrete arithmetic practice, and use Fluency Bee to strengthen number knowledge and quick recall skills across the school. To stretch and challenge our mathematicians, we provide opportunities to apply their understanding through complex, rich problem-solving tasks, including those from NRICH, promoting resilience, creativity, and depth of thought.

Our Maths curriculum empowers every child to see themselves as a capable, confident mathematician with the skills they need for the future.
