At Croughton we aim to provide our children with a maths curriculum that will provide them with the essential skills and knowledge they need so they are able to develop an understanding of the world. We would like our children to develop a natural curiosity and love for maths as a subject.

The National Curriculum for mathematics aims to ensure that all children:




Problem solving is at the heart of our teaching, broadening children’s knowledge and encouraging them to relate their learning to real life situations.

We want all children to be able to see mathematics as an interconnected subject and be able to make connections across mathematical ideas to develop fluency, mathematical reasoning and competence in solving increasingly sophisticated problems. We want our children to apply their mathematical knowledge to science and other subjects.

At Croughton teachers from year 1 to year 6 are using detailed schemes of learning published by the White Rose hub to plan effective maths lessons incorporating fluency, reasoning and problem solving. The White Rose schemes support ‘Teaching for Mastery’.
