Our Mathematical Statement of Intent

The National Curriculum for Mathematics aims to ensure that all pupils become fluent in conceptual understanding and are able to reason Mathematically when solving problems.

We passionately agree that a high quality Mathematics education provides a foundation for understanding the world, the ability to reason mathematically, an appreciation of the beauty and power of mathematics and a life long sense of enjoyment and curiosity about the subject. Therefore to ensure that this occurs we have adopted a whole school approach to teaching mathematics using the Maths No Problem Concrete, Pictorial and Abstract approach. Children are further challenged through learning different strategies, both written and mental, to solve the same problem.
