“Mathematics is a creative and highly inter-connected discipline that has been developed over centuries, providing the solution to some of history’s most intriguing problems. It is essential to everyday life, critical to science, technology and engineering, and necessary for financial literacy and most forms of employment. A high-quality mathematics education therefore provides a foundation 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.”

At the Federation of Priddy and St Lawrence's, we use the White Rose Maths scheme to support our planning and teaching of Mathematics throughout school. White Rose Maths is a scheme that has been developed by a team of passionate maths teaching experts who are influenced, inspired and informed by the work of leading maths researchers and practitioners across the world. The scheme's fundamental belief is that 'everyone can do Maths', and it is designed to teach to the 'mastery' of concepts so pupils become confident and resilient mathematicians. While White Rose is the 'spine' of our Maths curriculum, teachers enrich the content with resources from other high quality Maths websites, such as Deepening Understanding and Primary Stars, to provide pupils with enriched, well rounded and high quality Maths lessons.
