Mathematics
At St. Paul’s, we use Oak Academy Maths as the basis of our maths curriculum. Oak Academy provides a carefully sequenced curriculum that supports a mastery approach to mathematics, building knowledge and skills progressively over time. Lessons encourage children to explore mathematical concepts through discussion, reasoning and problem-solving, while developing fluency and confidence. Children are given opportunities each day to apply their understanding using concrete resources, pictorial representations and abstract methods to deepen their mathematical thinking.
Mastering Number
In Reception and KS1, children also use Mastering Number to develop fluency in calculation and a confidence and flexibility with number. In 2023/24, St. Paul's will also begin Mastering Number KS2 with Years 4 & 5. This project will enable children to develop fluency in multiplication and division facts, alongside developing good number sense.
Same Day Intervention
Same day intervention is used across the school and aims to ensure that no child is left behind, building an ethos that all can achieve.
Lessons are structured to enable teachers to check for understanding and address misconceptions at the point of learning, providing immediate intervention where required.
