Subject Vision:  “Mathematics reveals its secret only to those who approach it with love, for its own beauty.” Archimedes

Our vision for maths is  based on a ‘mastery’ approach to teaching and learning in mathematics and it is our aim that all pupils:

• Become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics so that they develop conceptual understanding and the ability to recall and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately.
• Can solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of problems with increasing sophistication, including in unfamiliar contexts and to model real-life scenarios.
• Can reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry and develop and present a justification, argument or proof using mathematical language.
