Mathematics

Mathematics is an interconnected subject in which pupils need to be able to move fluently between mathematical ideas. As an academy, we combine the Singapore and Shanghai approaches to maths through the use of high-quality textbooks (Power Maths) and Same Day Intervention.

The textbooks, which run from Reception to Year 6:

• are accessible and introduce concepts in a highly scaffolded way, enabling all children to develop critical thinking skills, make mathematical connections and become confident mathematicians
• are built on a concrete – pictorial – abstract approach, ensuring secure foundations and deep understanding of mathematical concepts
• support an exciting growth mindset and problem-solving approach to spark curiosity and excitement for maths and equip children with deeper understanding
• are written specifically for national curriculum classrooms in England by leading mastery experts from around the world and recommended by the Department for Education (DfE)
• offer an enriched approach that cleverly combines interactive teaching tools, high-quality textbooks and practice books
• are fully aligned to the national curriculum
