Our Maths Curriculum Philosophy 

Creating fluent problem solvers 

At Shrewsbury Cathedral Catholic School we aim to inspire all children to reach their full academic potential. In mathematics, this means ensuring a curriculum that is meaningful, contextual and fully inclusive.

At SCCPS we believe that every child can master an understanding and love of maths. We aim to ensure that all our pupils develop into enthusiastic mathematical thinkers who are ready to take on the world of mathematics by the time they leave us in year 6. Maths is delivered through an ambitious, connected and sequenced curriculum accessible to all pupils in our school from Reception to year 6. Using the an adapted White Rose Maths Scheme, KIRFs and Mastering Number, we not only cover all the content of the National curriculum but ensure it is sequenced in a way which maximises all pupils’ understanding of maths and supports its pedagogy. Through our well-thought-out scheme of work, we plan for our pupils to be confident mathematicians who have achieved fluency in all aspects of the curriculum.  We have the highest expectations of every learner; we want our pupils to master maths rather than having only surface knowledge and skills in this subject.
