At St Mary’s CE Primary School, we use White Rose Maths as our whole-class mastery programme. Designed to spark curiosity, enjoyment and confidence, it enables children to develop a deep understanding of mathematical concepts while fostering a positive attitude towards learning.
We believe that mathematics is a creative and interconnected subject that helps children make sense of the world around them. As part of our vision to enable every child to flourish and fulfil their God-given potential, we aim to nurture pupils who are confident, resilient and enthusiastic mathematicians.
Our mathematics curriculum promotes enjoyment, challenge and ambition for all. Through practical activities, exploration, discussion and problem-solving, children are encouraged to take risks, learn from mistakes and persevere when faced with challenges. We believe that all children can achieve success in mathematics and strive to create a learning environment where pupils feel supported, valued and confident to share their thinking.
We aim to develop fluent mathematicians with secure mathematical foundations who can reason, make connections and apply their learning in a range of contexts. Through carefully sequenced learning opportunities, children build conceptual understanding, develop confidence with number and calculation, and become effective problem-solvers who are well prepared for the next stage of their education and for life beyond the classroom.
Ultimately, we want every child to leave St Mary’s believing in themselves as mathematicians, appreciating the power and beauty of mathematics, and recognising the important role it plays in everyday life.
