Maths Curriuculm: White Rose and Ready to Progress

Our maths curriculum is based on both the White Rose scheme and the ready-to-progress criteria. The ready-to-progress criteria identify the most important conceptual knowledge and understanding that pupils need as they progress from year 1 to year 6.  By meeting the ready-to-progress criteria, pupils will be able to more easily access many of the elements of the curriculum that are not covered by this guidance. 

Developing strong and secure number sense and arithmetic skills is the key focus of the curriculum. Once fluent, these skills are applied to mathematical reasoning.

The curriculum is delivered using the White Rose Maths scheme and other relevant, high-quality materials. Selected maths platforms are used to help secure key knowledge and skills including:

• Numbersense

• Times Tables Rockstars

• MathsFrame

Maths Guidance for SEND (Ready to Progress):

Pupils should have access to a broad and balanced curriculum. The National Curriculum Inclusion Statement states that teachers should set high expectations for every pupil, whatever their prior attainment. Teachers should use appropriate assessment to set targets which are deliberately ambitious. Potential areas of difficulty should be identified and addressed at the outset. Lessons should be planned to address potential areas of difficulty and to remove barriers to pupil achievement. In many cases, such planning will mean that pupils with SEN and disabilities will be able to study the full national curriculum. The guidance in this document will support planning for all SEND pupils by highlighting the most important concepts within the national curriculum so that teaching and targeted support can be weighted towards these. 

Maths Teaching Structure:

Each lesson includes:

• Fluency practice (mental maths and multiplication facts)

• Rehearsal of prior learning and opportunities for overlearning key skills.

• Teacher led input, aimed at ensuring every pupil meets age related expectations, using 'I do, we do, you do' structure.
