With the new National Curriculum, we are keenly focussed on the development of our children’s arithmetic strategies in Maths from Nursery to Year 6.

Our Maths home learning scheme is geared towards encouraging the children of Keyworth to practise their number facts at home and then apply them to problem solving activities in and out of the classroom.

Application skills development is embedded in our approach to Maths from the Foundation Stage upwards. By accommodating different learning styles, we foster independent learners who are confident using a variety of methods when calculating. Our streamed system enables us to target individuals and support children with different needs.

Contextualised learning in both Key Stage 1 & 2 ensures that our children are engaged and can make connections with everyday scenarios that require a Mathematical perspective; thus, cementing the importance of developing their Maths skills.

We have adopted a progressive mentality to Maths and believe that children should build consistently on their knowledge and skills. As a result, there is a common thread to how Maths is taught from Nursery to Year 6, which ultimately ensures our children leave Keyworth as confident and curious Mathematicians.
