Mathematics

At Hale, we have developed a mastery approach through the ‘White Rose Hub’ scheme to ensure that early number knowledge is embedded and children are fluent with number facts for all aspects of calculation. Across Key Stage Two, children reinforce prior learning to build on new concepts and we do this to ensure that all children have full access to the curriculum, enabling them to achieve confidence and competence – ‘mastery’ – in mathematics. We use White Rose because, at Hale, we are passionate about children having access to all areas of mathematics. White Rose ensures that this is achieved but also directly highlights mathematical relationships between various content domains, therefore, creating a broad and balance curriculum through small steps in learning. To ensure a diverse range of problems, we also use NCETM.
