Our Maths curriculum is creative and engaging and aims to build towards using the Mastery approach to teaching mathematics. All children have access to this curriculum and make progress in lessons. We incorporate sustained levels of challenge through varied and high-quality activities with a focus on fluency, reasoning and problem-solving. Children are required to explore maths in depth, using mathematical vocabulary to reason and explain their workings.
