Mathematics

At St Thomas’s CE Primary School, we believe in creating mathematicians.

We aim to provide a focused, coherent and cumulative spiral curriculum that continuously builds and consolidates knowledge so children can reach deep understanding.

Children will acquire a foundation for understanding the world, the ability to reason mathematically, an appreciation of the beauty and power of mathematics and a sense of curiosity and enjoyment of the subject.

All children are encouraged to believe in their ability to master maths and are empowered to succeed through curiosity, persistence and talk, while collectively tackling new concepts.

We believe that the maths curriculum provides children with one of the essential tools for life, thus enabling them to function mathematically in the real world.
