At All Saints, our Christian vision is that, through the power of God’s love, children will reach their true potential and be able to live their lives with an open mind so that they learn from the world around them. Through our Mathematics curriculum, we aim to develop confident, resilient and successful mathematicians who are equipped with the knowledge, skills and understanding needed to make sense of the world and thrive in their future learning.
We recognise that our children come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences. Therefore, we provide a carefully sequenced and ambitious curriculum that ensures all pupils develop a secure understanding of mathematical concepts and procedures. Through high-quality teaching and a mastery approach, children build deep conceptual understanding, fluency in calculation and the ability to reason mathematically and solve problems. We want all pupils to experience success in mathematics and develop the confidence to apply their learning across the curriculum and in everyday life.
At All Saints, we follow the White Rose Maths scheme, which provides clear progression and carefully structured small steps in learning. Mathematical concepts are taught through the concrete, pictorial and abstract approach, enabling children to develop secure understanding before moving on to more complex ideas. Regular opportunities for retrieval, practice and application help children to build long-term retention and make meaningful connections within mathematics.
We place great importance on the development of mathematical vocabulary, reasoning and problem-solving skills. Children are encouraged to explain their thinking, justify their methods and explore different approaches to solving problems. Through this, they develop resilience, perseverance and a positive attitude towards challenge, recognising that mistakes are valuable opportunities for learning.
In line with our school motto, Love, Live and Learn, we aim for children to develop a love of mathematics, live as confident problem-solvers and learn the skills needed to succeed in an increasingly mathematical world. We want all pupils to leave All Saints as confident and competent mathematicians, equipped with strong foundations for secondary education and the knowledge, understanding and resilience needed to flourish and fulfil their God-given potential.
