Mathematics – Intent Statement

At Swansfield Park Primary School, we intend to provide a rich, engaging and coherent curriculum that promotes curiosity, deep understanding and the ability to think logically and critically, enabling children to become confident, successful and resilient mathematicians.

Our curriculum aims to provide all children with opportunities to explore, reason and investigate in order that they develop a strong conceptual understanding of number, which can be applied to sophisticated problem solving and the wider world around them.

Ultimately, we want all our children to believe that they CAN achieve in mathematics, and by demonstrating that making mistakes and correcting misconceptions makes us more secure learners, we foster a positive attitude towards the subject.

We believe that a strong foundation in mathematics is essential for future success, both in education and in life beyond school.

Through this approach, we believe that we nurture mathematically fluent, resilient, and inquisitive mathematicians.
