The overarching aim for our Mathematics curriculum is to develop pupils’ mathematical fluency, reasoning and understanding skills. Through the teaching of mathematics, we also develop pupils’ reading skills. Moreover, we intend to give our pupils the opportunity to appreciate mathematics in its wider, real-life context and to be able to apply their mathematics skills beyond school life. We strive to empower our pupils by equipping them with the key skills necessary to allow them to go deeper into their mathematics learning, developing strong reasoning and problem-solving skills. Most crucially, our curriculum aims to guarantee continued progression through year groups and key stages. Our mathematics curriculum has been specifically designed to ensure regular opportunities for consolidation to identify recalled knowledge and immediately address gaps. Our mathematics approach supports our key aim to enable our pupils to be confident, independent and enthusiastic mathematicians. At St Joseph’s, we aim to provide high-quality mathematics education to all our pupils.
