Maths

Mathematics is a creative and highly inter-connected discipline that has been developed over centuries, providing the solution to some of history’s most intriguing problems. It is essential to everyday life, critical to science, technology and engineering, and necessary for financial literacy and most forms of employment. A high-quality mathematics education therefore provides a foundation for understanding the world, the ability to reason mathematically, an appreciation of the beauty and power of mathematics, and a sense of enjoyment and curiosity about the subject.(DfE Mathematics National Curriculum 2013)

Our amazing children follow an exciting, engaging curriculum from the White Rose Maths hub. The teachers adapt their planning according to the needs of the pupils at the time. Having access to high quality learning materials at school or for home learning has been an unexpected highlight of Maths this year.
