Our Vision for Mathematics

At Werrington Primary School, we believe every child can be a confident and creative mathematician. Our approach, uses Ark Mathematics Mastery to structure learning from EYFS to Year 6, ensuring that all pupils develop a deep, connected understanding of mathematics that will set them up with the skills and learning needed for secondary school.

Through a carefully sequenced curriculum, we focus on developing conceptual understanding, mathematical thinking, and language and communication – the key Dimensions of Depth that underpin true mastery.

Lessons are designed for rich discussion, reasoning, and problem-solving, with oracy and precise mathematical vocabulary at the heart of every lesson. We use manipulatives and visual representations across all year groups to support understanding and to help pupils make meaningful connections between concepts.

We are committed to developing fluency in number and times tables, ensuring that every child has the knowledge and confidence to apply their learning to new and challenging contexts. This is achieved through weekly KS2 arithmetic sessions, which includes explicit teaching of times tables and regular Maths Meetings taking place across the school.

At Werrington, mathematics is not just about numbers – it is about thinking, communicating, and understanding the world with curiosity, clarity, and confidence.
