Mathematics is a creative and highly inter-connected discipline. It is essential to everyday life, critical to science, technology and engineering, and necessary for financial literacy and most forms of employment. It provides a foundation for understanding the world, and it permeates all of basic education and creates the preconditions for further successful learning.

Our aim is to ensure that pupils become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, reason mathematically and can solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of routine and non-routine problems. Our teachers will use every relevant subject to develop pupils' mathematical fluency. In accordance with the English national curriculum, we believe that confidence in numeracy and other mathematical skills is a preconditions of success across the national curriculum. That's why our teachers aim to develop pupils' numeracy and mathematical reasoning in all subjects.

Our pupils are taught to apply arithmetic fluently to problems, understand and use measures, make estimates and sense check their work. Pupils apply their geometric and algebraic understanding, and relate their understanding of probability to the notions of risk and uncertainty. They are trained to understand the cycle of collecting, presenting and analysing data. They are taught to apply their mathematics to both routine and non-routine problems, including breaking down more complex problems into a series of simpler steps.
