"There will always be science, engineering and technology.  And there will always, always be mathematics."
- Katherine Johnson                                          

Our aim is to empower, inspire, and equip all children to see themselves as mathematicians.

We follow Jerome Bruner’s Concrete, Pictorial, Abstract (CPA) approach in every lesson, helping pupils build and show their understanding of maths. We want all pupils to be skilled in using mathematical language to support their reasoning in different situations. We teach mathematical vocabulary directly and encourage pupils to practice using it with sentence stems to enhance their speaking and listening skills. Teachers reinforce vocabulary throughout the day.

By quickly identifying where each child is starting from, we aim to help them become confident problem solvers, applying their maths skills to a range of challenges in class, other subjects, and in real-life situations.

We create a safe and supportive learning environment where mistakes are viewed as opportunities for growth. Tasks are designed to be accessible to all, with opportunities for everyone to stretch their abilities.

We strive to inspire children to see how maths connects to their daily lives and other subjects, such as PE, Science, DT, and Art. In Science, we are mindful of how maths connects and how teachers can address potential gaps. Our goal is for children to be ready and successful in the next stage of their mathematical learning.
