Welcome to Maths

At Ark Priory, our aim is to provide every pupil with a comprehensive mathematical education to ensure that they feel empowered and confident in their pursuits.

The national curriculum for mathematics aims to ensure that all pupils:

• become fluent in the fundamentals of maths
• are able to reason mathematically
• can solve a range of problems by applying their mathematical knowledge

At Ark Priory, we work with two programmes of study: Mathematics Mastery (EYFS- Year 4) and an amalgamation of both Mathematics Mastery and White Rose Maths in UKS2 (Year 5-6).

The Mathematics Mastery curriculum has been developed to ensure that every child can achieve excellence in mathematics. As such, it provides pupils with a deep understanding of the subject through a concrete, pictorial and abstract approach to ensure pupils have a strong understand of the learning taking place.

Key features of the Mathematics Mastery curriculum that is implemented at Ark Priory:

• High expectations for every child
• Fewer topics to be studied in greater depth
• Number sense and place value come first 
• Research-based curriculum ·
• Objects and pictures presented before abstract approaches are used (numbers and letters)
• Problem solving is central ·
• Calculate with confidence– reason and explain why a method is successful
