About maths
Our Maths curriculum is designed to promote a love of maths and allow children to make connections between concrete materials, models and images, mathematical language, symbolic representation and prior knowledge. Our aim is to produce fluent mathematicians through providing all children with a secure conceptual understanding and efficiency in procedural approaches; this is reflected in the schools calculation policy. Through our teaching sequence, we ensure that children have the opportunity to practice key skills whilst developing their understanding and application to more complex questioning. Opportunities to transfer maths knowledge, skills and concepts are mapped out in the wider curriculum enabling children to apply learning in a different context.
