Maths Curriculum

Maths in our curriculum grows with your child from early years right through to age 11. We start with the basics — counting, recognising numbers, simple adding and taking away, spotting shapes, and using everyday words for size, weight and time. At this stage, maths is woven into real life: cooking together, sorting toys, playing shop, tidying up, noticing patterns and talking about what they see. As children move into the next stage, they become more confident with numbers, begin early multiplication and division, learn to handle money, tell the time, measure things properly, and solve simple problems on their own. Everything is taught in a practical, hands‑on way so children understand how maths fits into everyday life.

As they get older, the curriculum gently stretches them into more detailed maths. They work with bigger numbers, practise written methods, learn all their times tables, explore fractions and decimals, and start using maths to make real decisions — comparing prices, planning small projects, reading maps, following recipes and understanding charts. By the upper years, children learn how to budget, understand discounts, convert between fractions, decimals and percentages, read timetables, measure spaces, and make sense of more complex information. We also introduce simple financial skills like banking basics and spotting scams, so they’re ready for real‑world independence. By age 11, the aim is for your child to feel confident using maths in everyday life — planning, measuring, problem‑solving and making good decisions with numbers.
