Maths
Let your light shine as a mathematician
Maths teaching at St James’s CE Primary School aims to nurture a love of mathematical creatively through mastering fluency, reasoning and problem solving while celebrating mathematical curiosity. We want to provide our children with the ability to connect mathematical ideas and skills within maths lessons and the wider curriculum so that they can become confident and mathematically resilient children. We aim to instil a still a sense of wonder about mathematics, inviting students to explore real-world applications and the beauty of mathematical patterns. As a result, pupils become enthusiastic and capable mathematicians, ready to tackle challenges and see the relevance of maths in their everyday lives.

At St James's we use the White Rose Maths scheme to support our planning and teaching of Maths throughout school. White Rose Maths is a scheme that has been developed by a team of passionate maths teaching experts who are influenced, inspired and informed by the work of leading maths researchers and practitioners across the world. The scheme's fundamental belief is that 'everyone can do Maths', and it is designed to teach to the 'mastery' of concepts so pupils become confident and resilient mathematicians.
While the White Rose is the 'spine' of the St James's Maths curriculum teachers enhance the content with resources from other high quality Maths websites, such NRICH, to provide pupils with enriched, well rounded and high quality Maths lessons.
