At Godmanchester Bridge Academy we use the White Rose scheme as a guide to create our maths curriculum. We have chosen to follow this as it is influenced, inspired and informed by the work of leading researchers and practitioners across the world which combined with our professional judgement helps to equip pupils with the skills necessary to have a secure understanding of mathematical concepts, processes and strategies.
We set out to ensure that pupils develop the confidence to attempt a range of problems; develop their capacity in both mental and written calculations and acquire the skills necessary to apply their mathematical understanding to a range of concepts. We do this through using and designing resources that instil a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts using a varied range of inspiring classroom activities.
Our maths curriculum covers all the essential topics in key stage 1 and key stage 2 linked to the National Curriculum. They include, but are not limited to, times tables, the four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division), fractions, decimals and percentages. Our EYFS (Reception) units use the NCTEM’s Mastering Number programme to build the foundations for success and a deep understanding of the number system.
