We believe that mathematics is an integral part of learning that embraces every aspect of life. We want all of our pupils to experience all aspects of mathematics and develop a sense of curiosity and enthusiasm for the subject.
We encourage a growth mindset in our children and embrace the making of mistakes as a perfect tool for learning. We provide a wide range of opportunities to broaden pupils’ knowledge and deepen their understanding of mathematics. We strive for all pupils to believe and achieve and recognise themselves as mathematicians.
We aim for all pupils to:
- become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics so that they develop conceptual understanding and the ability to recall and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately.
- reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry and develop and present a justification, argument or proof using mathematical language.
- solve problems by applying their understanding to a variety of problems, including in unfamiliar contexts and model real-life scenarios, preparing them for later life.
- be self-motivated in seeking challenges and have a resilient approach to working.
- believe that mathematics is something we can all do.
