Mathematics at Southrop

At Southrop School, Mathematics is a fundamental part of each day. We believe that Maths teaches us how to make sense of the world around us. We aim to provide children with the skills in order to develop the ability to calculate, to communicate, to reason and to solve problems. This enables children to explore, understand, and appreciate relationships and patterns in both number and shape in their everyday life. Under our “Together we can fly” ethos, we believe all children can achieve in mathematics. We wish to promote enjoyment and enthusiasm for learning through practical activity, cross-curricular learning, exploration and discussion. We aim to promote confidence, resilience and competence with numbers and the number system through children working hard and pushing themselves to achieve.

We have been working closely with the GLOW Maths hub for a number or years on our Maths Mastery journey and are a Sustaining Mastery school.

If you have any queries about our Maths curriculum, please do not hesitate to contact Mrs Dawson, Maths subject leader.

Maths in Early Years

The mastering number programme covers all ELG statements for Number and Numerical Patterns however we recognise the importance of children developing their spatial reasoning skills across all areas of mathematics including shape, space and measures. We therefore use continuous provision to supplement our maths offer to all Reception pupils.
