Maths

As a department, we strive to develop pupils’ curiosity about Mathematics.

We firmly believe that regardless of prior experiences, all pupils can achieve and feel a sense of enjoyment in their learning journey. We break down learning into manageable steps in order to teach for a secure and deep understanding. We regularly provide challenge and depth through rich problem solving tasks that require students to think systematically and in a logical order.

We aim for all pupils to:

Become fluent in the fundamentals of Mathematics through varied and frequent practice, so they are able to recall relevant information timely and accurately.
Develop their number sense so that they are able to apply a skill to multiple contexts, including real-life financial scenarios.
Reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry, conjecturing relationships and generalisations, and developing an argument, justification or proof using mathematical language
Understand and appreciate various numerical methods, which enables pupils to perform mental and written calculations efficiently and accurately. Allowing them to become mathematically confident, numerate adults.
