Our approach to mathematics is clear. We endeavour to equip all pupils with a life-long enthusiasm and curiosity for mathematics. By the time children leave our school we aim that they are confident problem solvers, that they have gained fluency in facts that they can use in a flexible and adaptable way, and that they can reason using understanding and logic.
We believe that these tools will not only enable them to use mathematics specifically but are transferable skills that will increase their life chances and opportunities. We follow the White Rose Maths scheme, and have support from the Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Maths Hub, including staff development and training.
Children in the lower part of the school also benefit from maths mastery sessions which are designed to achieve fluency in basic skills.
