At Gedney Church End Primary Academy, we believe mathematics is an important part of children’s development throughout school, right from an early age. We intend on delivering a curriculum which:

• Allows children to be a part of creative and engaging lessons that will give them a range of opportunities to EXPLORE mathematics following a mastery curriculum approach.
• Gives each pupil a chance to BELIEVE in themselves as mathematicians and develop the power of resilience and perseverance when faced with mathematical challenges.
• Recognises that mathematics underpins much of our daily lives and therefore is of paramount importance in order that children ASPIRE and become successful in the next stages of their learning.
• Engages all children and entitles them to the same quality of teaching and learning opportunities, striving to ACHIEVE their potential, as they belong to our school community.
• Makes rich connections across mathematical ideas to develop fluency, mathematical reasoning and competence in solving increasingly sophisticated problems. * Provides equal opportunities for children to apply their mathematical knowledge to other subjects (cross-curricular links).

We use a scheme called White Rose Maths and supplement this with resources from a range of other strategies, sometimes creating our own resources to ensure the learning is approrpriate for our learners. Although following White Rose Maths, we are flexible with this approach and as a result of our mixed year classes, our long term and medium term plans are sometimes adapted to meet the needs of our classes and learners.
