Maths

Maths at Barnston Primary School is described by the children in three words!

Fun, exciting and interesting!

Teachers follow long term plans and medium term White Rose Maths planning (https://whiteroseeducation.com) but create and carefully plan lessons to meet every child's needs. Teaching staff ensure that children get the very best, inclusive maths curriculum. Children at Barnston love maths and teaching staff work hard to ensure there is an inclusive culture and a real love of this core subject. Being active is a large part of teaching maths in Barnston and children are taught in a variety of ways and in different environments. Teaching staff support children to reach their full mathematical potential and enjoy the journey along the way! Barnston is proud of the enjoyment and success experienced by all children in a wonderful subject with endless possibilities!

Alongside White Rose maths scheme, we use Mastery Maths & Gavin Metcalf Reasoning and Problem Solving resources. For more information on maths see Miss Nichols as Maths lead, as the progression of skills and White Rose scheme are too big to place on the website as per other subjects. Please do look at our calculations policy, as this demonstrates our methods of teaching maths in each year group.
