Intent

At Horsell Junior School, we know that mathematics is vital to everyday life and necessary for most forms of employment. Mathematics can be found within science, engineering, architecture, medicine and business. Our aim is to ensure that pupils gain mathematical knowledge which will allow them to: 

articulate their success, ideas and thinking,

be brave and challenge themselves in their learning

be collaborative, working with one another to discuss their learning and solve problems efficiently.

Implementation

• We use White Rose Maths as a resource to teach Maths across the school. Y3-5 teach a stand-alone additional times table session to develop these skills further.
• Pre-teach sessions are taught at the end of the day to support children with the next day's learning. 
• All lessons include a retrieval activity, vocabulary support and extension to support and challenge.

 

Impact (including pupil voice, assessment & subject monitoring)

• Through carrying out Pupil Voice and lesson drop-ins, children’s confidence in maths is gradually improving. More children are able to discuss their learning with confidence and are becoming more confident in their exploratory approach to maths.
• Data for external assessments such as KS2 outcomes are strong and above national figures.
