Mathematics Curriculum

Intent for our Maths Curriculum

Our Primary Maths curriculum aims to inspire a genuine love and passion for mathematics that will stay with every child for a lifetime. We understand that having a solid foundation in maths is not only crucial for academic success but also helps in developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills that are vital for everyday life.

Through engaging lessons and hands-on activities, children will gain the knowledge and understanding of maths they need to move confidently into the next stages of their lives. We want our children to be able to apply maths principles in real-world situations, promoting a mindset of lifelong learning and adaptability. This understanding is essential for future educational pursuits as well as future careers, where being mathematically literate is increasingly important.

Our curriculum is designed so that children acquire maths skills and concepts that they can apply in various contexts. By connecting maths to different subjects and everyday experiences, we help children see the relevance of maths in their lives. This approach allows them to develop a flexible mindset for problem-solving that will help them in all sorts of situations, from everyday tasks to more complex challenges down the line. Our aim is to inspire confidence and independence in their future learning.

In addition, our Primary Maths curriculum maintains high expectations that challenge all learners, no matter where they start from. We believe that every child can achieve great things in maths, and our curriculum is designed to accommodate their diverse needs. By using a range of teaching strategies, we ensure that each child can engage with the curriculum at a suitable level, encouraging resilience and fostering a growth mindset. The high standards we set motivate children to strive for excellence, while our supportive environment nurtures their individual journeys and celebrates their achievements.
