The core resource for mathematics is the National Numeracy Strategy.  Detailed schemes of work have been prepared which allow the children to develop a structured and sequential understanding of mathematical concepts and skills.    A programme of practical problem solving and investigative activities gives children the opportunity to develop an understanding of appropriate mathematical language and the strategies and reasoning required to make decisions and solve problems. 

The standards achieved by our children in mathematics are high and it is our intention to continually monitor and strive to improve the quality of mathematical experiences we offer our pupils. Recently we have worked hard to develop partnerships with parents in understanding the range of mathematical calculations now taught in school. This included a highly successful parent, staff and governors evening led by an expert in mathematical education. 

We offer a programme of Additional Numeracy Support in Years 3 and 4 which has now been extended to children in Years 5 and 6. The intention is that no child leaves our school without a sound grasp of ‘the basics’.
