At Great Abington Primary we understand the importance of building secure mathematical knowledge throughout a child's learning journey. By the time children leave Great Abington, they will be curious, embrace challenge and be able to apply their knowledge to a range of contexts. We understand our responsibilities around preparing children for their next phase of education. Alongside academic rigour, we provide opportunities for children to develop mathematical concepts within real-life scenarios. We review our Maths provision annually and engage with all stakeholders as part of that process. Below we have detailed our current provision across the school.

• Early maths is embedded within continuous provision giving children access to a range of physical resources in order to practice key skills and develop vocabulary.
• Children follow a consistent progression of mathematical concepts, knowledge and understanding based upon the National Curriculum Programme of study.
• When required, we extend the school day for pupils that require additional support to ensure they have the best opportunity to meet expected standards.
• Additional resources and support is provided for those pupils that are finding maths a challenge.
• We engage with Cambridgeshire Maths Hub and other recognised bodies of expertise to ensure our own knowledge and understanding is current.
• Outdoor learning provides the backdrop for using and applying mathematical knowledge.
• Challenge is integrated into the school culture and is embraced through our maths lessons.
• Concrete resources are used throughout the school to enable children to visualise, experiment and problem solve.
• Whole-class technology is used for modelling real-life resources and interactive resources used to support understanding of patterns and relationships.
• We use Google Classroom to provide online learning and support for all pupils. 
• We run annual workshops for parents and carers.
• Our PTFA provides every pupil with a subscription to TT Rockstars to support 24/7 access to quality times table resources.
• From Year 2 (Summer term) to the end of Year 5 we use NfER standardised tests to provide support for teacher assessment on a termly basis.
• The outcomes and impact of our Maths provision is monitored throughout the academic year.
• In Year 6 we prepare pupils for the DfE statutory assessments using a range of materials and close liaison with parents / carers.
• We provide personalised mathematics analysis as part of the transition package to key stage 3.
• Parents and carers will be informed of progress through face-to-face / online meetings and ad hoc discussion when required.

Please do come and talk with us if you have any questions, concerns or can provide real-life contexts for mathematical use within society.
