The subject lead for Mathematics is Mr Sykes.
Core Learning
Core Concepts:
- Fluency
- Reasoning
- Solve problems
For children to become fluent in mathematical concepts and skills, through varied and frequent practice; able to recall and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately.
For children to reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry, conjecturing relationships and generalisations, and developing an argument, justification or proof using mathematical language.
For children to solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of real life problems, breaking down problems into a series of simpler steps and persevering in seeking solutions.
Learning Guides
Intent
We teach mathematics so that our children become fluent in mathematical concepts and skills (with accuracy and precise use of language); reason mathematically; and solve a variety of real life problems.

ViewCurriculum Design
Our maths curriculum is mapped out across all year groups, ensuring continuity and supporting transition. The maths curriculum is designed in relatively small carefully sequenced steps, which must each be mastered before our pupils move to the next stage; we call these fluency, variation and reasoning tasks. It is important that fundamental skills and knowledge are secured first. This often entails focusing on curriculum content in considerable depth at early stages. You can view our Long-Term Plans (above) and Medium Term Plans (below) for each year group.
Implementation: The Crosby Approach to Teaching Maths
We follow a Mastery approach to mathematics following our work alongside the National Centre for Education in Mathematics (NCETM). Teachers reinforce an expectation that all pupils are capable of achieving high standards in mathematics. The majority of pupils progress through the curriculum content at the same pace. Teaching is underpinned by a methodical curriculum design supported by carefully crafted lessons and resources to foster deep conceptual and procedural knowledge. Variation and the use of different representations within this builds fluency and understanding of underlying mathematical concepts. Practice and consolidation play a central role to help pupils know and remember more. We recognise that there will be some pupils that require a personalised curriculum in order to meet their specific needs and ensure that they are ready to progress to the next stage in learning.
