Implementation
Maths teaching throughout the school follows the National Curriculum and ensures there is clear progression throughout the children’s learning. The mastery approach of following microscopic steps to move through the learning is evident across the school. This is mostly delivered through the White Rose Maths Scheme and NCETM Spines but all lessons are tailored to a child’s individual needs. Our spiral curriculum ensures that all children have a secure and solid foundation of mathematical skills and that their understanding is transferable so that they are equipped for secondary school and empowered in life.
The school values of Love, Aspiration and Community are promoted through opportunities for students to stretch and challenge themselves both in class, through wider school experiences and external activities and projects too.
Impact
By the end of Year 6, transitioning to secondary school, we aspire that a Holy Trinity mathematician will have developed a bank of efficient and accurate skills. These are underpinned by a deep understanding of the concepts and processes and an automaticity (or fluency) around key number facts (e.g. times tables and number bonds). Children will be able to apply these calculation skills and understanding of concepts and processes to become confident and resilient problem-solvers with the ability to reason and articulate their ideas mathematically. Due to the embedding of fact sentences, children will have the language to be able to justify, reason and explain their answers.
