Mathematics

At Leigh on Mendip, our aim is to equip every child with the mathematical skills and confidence they need for everyday life - both now and in the future. We also want pupils to experience the enjoyment of maths as a creative, engaging and fascinating subject in its own right. We strive to develop confident, resilient learners who can:

➕ Think logically and critically,

➕ Solve problems independently,

➕ And apply their mathematical understanding across the curriculum and in the wider world.
