Welcome to the St.Andrew’s Maths Hub !

“Maths is not the answer to a question, it is the journey you have taken to get to the answer.”

Parent-Pupil Resources

Help at home is essential to support your child's learning. However you feel about your own Maths capabilities we would encourage you to provide a positive attitude towards Maths - one that promotes a love of challenge and works to reduce Maths anxiety. Regular practice is essential, especially retrieval of work that may have happened in previous years and months. To help, we have added a link below offering free resources that follow our scheme of work. If unsure of their current unit of learning, please ask your child's teacher. We would also encourage your child to access Mathletics weekly and TTRockstars daily - every child in Year 2 to 6 will have username and passwords for both applications. Thank you in advance for your support.

2024 2025 Academic Year

This year will see the Maths lead begin an NPQ in Maths Leadership, continue participation in the local Maths Hub and introduce 'Go Green' certificates from TT Rockstars. Participation in the TT Rockstars MTC Hub and use of Heatmaps are also being used to help motivate pupils to improve the fluency of their times tables.

The priority is always quality-first teaching; however the school are committed to Maths interventions through pre-teach and post-lesson booster sessions in order to make sure pupils keep up and not catch up. There is a focus of the application of cognitive science, especially how prior knowledge, working memory and retrieval practice all play keys role in making sure knowledge and skills are retained within long term memory.

2023 2024 Academic Year

This academic year saw the school continue its participation with the Teaching for Mastery programme with CODE Maths Hub. The year long programme saw St. Andrew's work with a range of other local schools to promote Maths Mastery through quality first teaching. A learning walk with the course lead proved very positive for the school with excellent examples of stem sentences, questioning and mastery practices embedded throughout all year groups.

A Year 2 to Year 6 pupil survey was carried out with the results used to help the Maths Action Plan for the next academic year.
