Inclusion

In Maths we have integrated a range of strategies into the lesson structure and delivery to support the inclusion of all learners within learning. This ensures that all of the children at Gurnard Primary School receive a broad and balanced curriculum that is suitable to the needs of all.

The way in which Maths is taught at Gurnard Primary School is by its nature inclusive. Children are exposed to a range of images and structures when a topic is introduced. This enables the majority of learners to grasp new concepts quickly. The use of Guided Practice in lessons means that children are able to practice their new learning with a brief exercise or practical activity which allows quick assessment of their understanding. If this requires support then the teacher may adapt the task or provide additional support , perhaps with concrete apparatus or different pictorial representations. 

Children with specific needs may be supported to access learning, for example, with visual prompts, tasks chunked into smaller sections, the use of coloured paper. The ability to complete some work independently is always encouraged and this is promoted through allowing the children to access learning through appropriate tasks.
