In Maths, we provide a broad, ambitious curriculum that enables all students to reach their potential. We build strong foundations through declarative knowledge of mathematical facts and properties. This leads to procedural fluency in core operations and methods. Students then apply their knowledge flexibly to solve problems, demonstrating conditional knowledge and mathematical thinking. Our curriculum develops conceptual understanding, skills, and strategic thinking to equip students for further study and life.

A high-quality Maths education ensures all students: 

• Develop curiosity, perseverance, and a love of learning through engaging maths lessons and challenging problem-solving.
• Develop retention of core knowledge and skills by regular retrieval practice built into the curriculum
• Master core mathematical knowledge and skills through focused instruction, guided practice, and regular retrieval of key concepts.
• Build resilience, strategic thinking, and independence as mathematical problem solvers.
• Make connections between mathematics and other subjects across the curriculum, e.g. Science, Geography, Art etc.
• Gain a strong foundation of numerical fluency, mathematical reasoning, and analytical skills for future academic and career success.
• Appreciate mathematics as a subject that helps people understand and improve the world.

Key concepts of Maths allow students to develop: 

• Declarative Knowledge - Students are taught the core maths facts, formulas, and concepts within key strands that form the basis for mathematical understanding.
• Procedural Fluency - Students are taught efficient, accurate methods and strategies for calculations, operations, and problem-solving that allow them to make connections and develop conceptual understanding.
• Conditional Knowledge - Students learn how to identify optimal strategies for different problem types and apply knowledge flexibly. They develop confidence in tackling complex problems through mathematical reasoning.

By developing these interconnected aspects of mathematical thinking, our students gain both the deeper understanding and flexible skills to meet new challenges and achieve success. Our maths curriculum aims to make every student a capable and curious mathematician.
