At St John’s Meads, we believe every child deserves a curriculum that empowers them to grow into confident, resilient problem-solvers, reflecting our values of love, independence, honesty, generosity, and teamwork [LIGHT]. 

Our Mathematics curriculum nurtures each child’s God-given potential, equipping them with the fluency, reasoning, and problem-solving skills needed to thrive in a numerate world. 

Aligned with the National Curriculum and delivered through the White Rose Maths scheme, our mathematics education follows a mastery approach, building knowledge in small, connected steps. Children progress through concrete, pictorial, and abstract representations, enabling deep conceptual understanding and the flexibility to apply skills across contexts. 

Lessons are carefully sequenced to develop fluency and reasoning, with scaffolded teaching, clear modelling, and consistent use of mathematical vocabulary. Adaptive teaching ensures inclusivity, enabling all pupils to achieve success, while additional fluency sessions strengthen recall and confidence. 

Real-world problem-solving contexts make learning relevant and meaningful, sparking curiosity and encouraging collaboration. Pupils are taught to think critically, persevere when challenged, and make meaningful mathematical connections across subjects and in everyday life. 

Assessment is ongoing, with feedback and targeted interventions supporting progress and addressing gaps. By embedding mathematics in authentic contexts and delivering it with care, St John’s Meads cultivates resilient learners who approach challenges with confidence and creativity, shining as lights in their communities.
