Maths

In Mathematics, children develop knowledge, skills and understanding throughout all phases of school. This allows pupils to become confident in developing the skills of fluency, reasoning and problem solving across the curriculum and becoming resilient in their approach to mathematics to equip them with the skills that they will use in their life beyond school. The current scheme of learning is taught through White Rose Maths and we have adopted their calculation policy which can be downloaded from the bottom of this page.

AT St Pauls’ we continue to develop our practice to ensure that the teaching and learning encourages our children to achieve their potential.

With this in mind, we have embarked upon Mastery training in partnership with our local Maths Hub and the NCETM (National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics). Reception, Year 1 and Year2 are currently working on the Mastery programme, to ‘secure firm foundations in the development of good number sense for all children’.

‘The aim over time is that children will leave KS1 with fluency in calculation and a confidence and flexibility with number. Attention will be given to key knowledge and understanding needed in Reception classes, and progression through KS1 to support success in the future.’ NCETM website Mastery in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2.

This will progress into Key Stage 2 as we continue to develop Mastery practice through the school.
