Mathematics

Mathematics equips pupils with a uniquely powerful set of tools to understand and change the world. It is integral to all aspects of life, and with this in mind we endeavour to ensure that children develop a deep, long-lasting, adaptable and secure understanding of the subject.

Mathematics helps children to make sense of the world around them through developing their ability to calculate, to reason and to solve problems. It enables children to understand and appreciate relationships and pattern in both number and space in their everyday lives. Through their growing knowledge and understanding, children learn to appreciate the contribution made by many cultures to the development and application of Mathematics.
