Our mathematics curriculum follows White Rose Maths, a well-established approach to teaching that supports children in developing a deep understanding of mathematical concepts and skills. Rooted in research and the principles of teaching for mastery, White Rose Maths provides a carefully sequenced progression of learning, supported by a wide range of high-quality teaching resources.

As White Rose Maths is widely used in schools across the country, many children joining our school may already be familiar with its approach. This helps provide continuity in learning and enables children to build confidently on their existing knowledge and understanding.

Children from Year 1 onwards enjoy five one-hour mathematics lessons each week, while children in Nursery and Reception take part in five 30-minute sessions each week. Our curriculum is carefully structured to allow children time to explore mathematical concepts, practise key skills and progressively deepen their knowledge, understanding and confidence as they encounter increasingly challenging learning.

To further enhance children’s mathematical learning, we use Mathletics, a specialist online programme that provides opportunities to practise skills, consolidate learning and develop enthusiasm for mathematics both at school and at home.

We also use Times Tables Rock Stars to help children develop fluency, speed and confidence in their multiplication tables. This supports their mathematical progress throughout Key Stage 2 and helps prepare them for the Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check.

Our aim is to develop confident, resilient and enthusiastic mathematicians who enjoy exploring mathematical ideas and can apply their knowledge and skills to a range of problems and real-life situations.
