Impact of Maths

The impact of our mathematics curriculum is that children enjoy maths and are not afraid to ‘have a go’.  We have created a Growth Mindset environment where children understand that it is ok to be wrong and that mistakes can be a good learning point. It is the journey to finding the answer that is the most important and not necessarily the answer itself.

Children are developing skills in being articulate and are able to verbally reason well. They are continuing to develop skills to enable them to pictorially and in written form reason well.

Children enjoy the challenge of Times Tables Olympics and sharing their achievements in this area in Celebration Assembly. New levels for Times Tables Olympics (Black Hole, Cosmic) has been written to challenge our Greater Depth children.

Maths books and Class Logs show evidence of fluency, problem solving and reasoning using the CPA Approach. Our feedback and interventions are supporting children to strive to be the best mathematicians that they can.

Maths books are moderated both internally and externally on a regular basis and children are achieving well in maths.

NFER Formative Assessments are carried out on a termly basis in Years 1, 3, 4 and 5, with Years 2 and 6 carrying out practice SATs paper at appropriate points throughout the year. The results of these formative assessments are analysed and used to inform planning and ensure every child is making expected or more than expected progress. Children’s progress is also tracked by the Data Lead and discussed at termly Progress Meetings. Any child not achieving their full potential is identified and the appropriate support is put in place for these targeted pupils.
