Maths at Lady Boswell's

At Lady Boswell’s, the Maths Curriculum provides a unique opportunity to contribute to the school’s vision and achieve our ‘seven gifts’.

Our Maths curriculum encourages pupils to strive for academic excellence, equipping them with the knowledge they need for their future. A secure understanding of mathematics is essential to everyday life, critical to science, technology and engineering and necessary for financial literacy and most forms of employment. Our high-quality mathematics curriculum therefore provides the foundations for understanding the world, the ability to reason mathematically, an appreciation of the beauty and power of mathematics and a sense of enjoyment and curiosity about the subject. Through the teaching of mathematics, Lady Boswell’s pupils are able to become confident problem solvers who are resilient and resourceful when faced with problems. Pupils are encouraged to use their fluency, reasoning and problem-solving skills effectively to solve challenging mathematical questions and develop knowledge of complex mathematical concepts that will in turn equip them for their futures.

At Lady Boswell’s, we follow the National Curriculum and use Power Maths with White Rose as a scheme for the teaching of mathematics across the school. Power Maths follows a mastery approach to support pupils with the development of key mathematical concepts. Knowledge is organised into units for each year  group and this knowledge is built on each year. Teachers across the school follow the Power Maths with White Rose progression to ensure key facts are taught at appropriate ages and stages for pupils.

Parents and tutors will find the following Calculation Policies helpful when supporting their children at home:
