Mathematics
At Barrow 1618 C of E Primary Free School we aim to teach mathematics that inspires children, encouraging them to be inquisitive about the mathematical world, nurtures their innate curiosity and enables them to develop a range of problem-solving skills that are useful across their learning. By the end of their primary education our pupils should be equipped not only for the national curriculum requirements but for solving mathematical problems in the real world. Our mathematics curriculum offers a broad range of experiences designed to provide pupils with a progression of mathematical understanding, skills and knowledge. Understanding of key ideas in mathematics is built on across the key stages and a progression of skills allows pupils to move from early development of the concept of numbers and practical exploration, to considered reasoning and explanation of more complex concepts and processes.
