Maths
We teach Maths through progressive objectives which challenge and support pupils in all areas of the curriculum, including number, place value, addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, fractions, shape, position, direction and movement, measure and statistics.
A key part of our approach is ensuring that children develop a secure foundational knowledge, so they are ready to progress confidently to the next stage of learning. Our curriculum is designed so that all children thrive and participate fully, regardless of their starting point, with learning experiences that are accessible, engaging and appropriately challenging.
Implementation
Our arithmetic sessions are fast‑paced and use ongoing assessment to support and challenge pupils. Across the school, we ensure pupils have access to a wide range of practical resources to deepen their understanding. This begins in the Early Years, and as children build on their knowledge throughout the school, we provide increasing opportunities for them to demonstrate their reasoning skills and apply their learning to solve complex problems. Every child is encouraged to contribute, explore ideas and develop confidence as a mathematician.
To support home learning, we offer parent workshops that explain the methods used in school so families can be fully involved in their child’s learning. By working together, we ensure that every pupil is equipped with the tools, encouragement and opportunities they need to succeed.
Impact
The impact of this approach is reflected in our outcomes: 93% of Year Six pupils in 2024/25 achieved the expected standard in Maths, with 43% achieving greater depth. Among disadvantaged pupils, 83% reached the expected standard and 42% achieved greater depth. Both sets of outcomes are significantly above the national average.
