Mathematics is essential for everyday life, understanding of our world and offers children a powerful way of communicating. They learn to explore and explain their ideas using symbols, diagrams and spoken and written language. Studying mathematics stimulates curiosity, fosters creativity and equips children with the skills they need in life beyond school.

We believe every child can become a numerate adult – with skilful teaching in school and encouragement at home and our maths curriculum intent and implementation ensures every child is encouraged, scaffolded and challenged to ensure they develop a deep understanding of mathematics during their time at Oakley Vale.
