EYFS
In the Early Years Foundation Stage, our young mathematicians are provided with many exciting opportunities, through planned purposeful play, teacher-led inputs and child-initiated activities, to develop and improve their mathematical skills. The teaching of mathematics is integrated through a range of contexts including storybooks, puzzles, songs, rhymes, games and challenges. Similarly, to the rest of the school, manipulatives and resources are used to ensure learning is concrete and accessible for all children and to encourage a discussion regarding mathematics.
KS1
Throughout Key Stage 1, we follow the White Rose Maths Schemes of Learning which are designed to break down the curriculum into manageable progressive steps with fluency, reasoning and problem solving fully integrated. This ensures that pupils are always given opportunities to apply their understanding in context. In addition, we supplement this with resources from NCETM (National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics), Classroom Secrets and the Ready to Progress materials to ensure a broad and challenging curriculum is provided.
