The National Framework for Mathematics was introduced in the school to enable teachers to provide pupils with a firm foundation in mathematics and set targets for raising standards in key skills. We believe in interactive whole-class and group teaching using a variety of approaches that meet the diverse needs of individual children.

Mathematics is taught through a daily mathematics lesson. Lessons focus on whole-class teaching with a strong emphasis on calculation, reasoning and problem solving. Pupils are challenged to calculate efficiently, explain their answers and suggest new ways of tackling problems.

As far as possible we try to relate maths to real life and use our surroundings to learn outside the classroom whenever it is practical to do so.
