Numeracy should be fun, enjoyable and part of everyday life, but it should also be challenging and provide a sense of achievement for all children. The practical aspect of Numeracy has a high priority throughout the school as a means of developing a sound understanding of mathematical concepts, which in turn are practised and consolidated.
Numeracy is taught daily. The school currently follows the National Primary Strategy in Year 6 and the new 2014 National Curriculum in Years 3 to 5, ensuring that Numeracy teaching is given a very high profile in line with government guidelines. From September 2015, Year 6 will also transfer to the new curriculum, ready for the new format of the national SATs.
Numeracy involves confidence and competence with number and measure. It requires an understanding of the number system, sound computational skills and an ability to solve number problems in a variety of contexts.
