Power Maths
We have adopted a maths scheme called Power Maths to support our teaching of maths.
What is Power Maths?
Power Maths is a resource that has been designed for UK schools based on research and extensive experience of teaching and learning around the world and here in the UK. It has been designed to support and challenge all pupils, and is built on the belief that EVERYONE can learn maths successfully.

Mathematics Calculation Policies and Progression
From Autumn 2021, in addition to Power Maths, children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 have been using Mastering Number resources to aid their fluency in the key number facts.
Mastering Number aims to secure firm foundations in the development of good number sense for all children from Reception through to Year 1 and Year 2. The aim over time is that children will leave KS1 with fluency in calculation and a confidence and flexibility with number. Attention will be given to key knowledge and understanding needed in Reception classes, and progression through KS1 to support success in the future.
ONS, together with education resource centre, iChild, have developed Let’s Count! to support Census 2021.

They chose to encourage children to walk to school on Wednesday 17th March 2021 and these are their results...
