Curriculum Intent

Our mathematics curriculum provides a harmonious and stimulating environment for pupils of all backgrounds and abilities to learn the language of the universe.  

The intent of our mathematics curriculum is to empower students with the skills and knowledge that transform their lives, equipping them to think critically, solve problems, and thrive in an increasingly complex and data-driven world. Their passion and  curiosity  will enable them to make meaningful contributions to society and inspire a future generation of mathematicians in the local community.  

The curriculum intent can be broken into strands which run through all our learning activities. 

Recognise mathematics across the curriculum-we make direct links between topics in mathematics and other subjects. 

Develop mathematicians - We teach holistically and aim for mastery and retention. We aim for our students to use their mathematical toolbox to solve problems. 

Recognise prior learning - We check prior and pre-requisite knowledge, breaking down our instructions into small steps and then chain atoms together. 

Inspire students to continue mathematics beyond GCSE – we prepare our students for study in A-level and Core mathematics. 

Secure mathematical fluency knowledge and skills- we give time to practise mathematics in I-zones, and regularly check for recall across the curriculum. 

Exemplify mathematics in unfamiliar contexts- we model mathematics in different scenarios and different topics until the unfamiliar becomes familiar 

Build resilience in problem-solving and we explicitly model problem-solving strategies.
