Our curriculum for mathematics aims to ensure that all pupils:

• Become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics.
• Reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry.
• Solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of routine and non-routine problems with increasing sophistication.

Our curriculum encourages pupils to talk about their mathematical reasoning, which is a key factor in developing mathematical vocabulary and presenting a mathematical justification. In this way, pupils learn to make their thinking clear to themselves, as well as others, whilst building secure foundations to probe and remedy any misconceptions.

Pupils are expected to master a range of strategies and recall these to solve familiar problems, as well as applying what they know when tackling unfamiliar ones. Children often worry about making a mistake or getting things wrong in maths. Whilst ultimately the outcome is important, we need to give consideration to the process and decision making that happens to achieve this.   

As a school, we are currently on a journey to implement “Complete Maths”. During this time, teachers are starting to plan and deliver lessons using Complete Maths as a guide, as well as using other aspects of the programme to enhance intervention and assessment.



We place great importance on children knowing their times tables, so work in class and at home is often focussed on this. One way we help to promote children’s table knowledge is providing access to Times Table Rockstars for every child to practice at home.

Our mathematics curriculum provides a foundation for understanding the world, the ability to reason mathematically, an appreciation of the power of mathematics, and a sense of enjoyment and curiosity about the subject.
