Our vision for maths

At Walton on the Hill Primary School we want to develop a culture of maths that encourages deep understanding, confidence and competence in maths – a culture that produces strong, secure learning and real progress.  By building confidence, resilience and a passion for maths, we believe that whatever your prior experience or preconceptions, maths is an exciting adventure everyone can enjoy, value and master!  The mastery approach is well embedded within our school and the White Rose Scheme of Work supports the values that underpin our maths curriculum.

We ensure there is an appropriate balance of fluency, reasoning and problem solving and use the best resources available to support teachers to ensure all children achieve well.  Children are encouraged to become independent, articulate mathematicians with mental dexterity that allows them to apply their basic skills in non-routine situations.  We develop excellent number sense in the early years which progresses to mathematical fluency and complex arithmetic.  Maths is a real strength in our school and excellent results fully corroborate this assessment.
