English Curriculum Intent

Article 28 (right to education) Every child has the right to an education. Primary education must be free and different forms of secondary education must be available to every child. Discipline in schools must respect children’s dignity and their rights. Richer countries must help poorer countries achieve this.

The majority of pupils will move through the programmes of study at broadly the same pace.... Pupils who grasp concepts rapidly should be challenged through being offered rich and sophisticated problems before any acceleration through new content…. those who are not sufficiently fluent with earlier material should consolidate their understanding, including through additional practice, before moving on (NC 2014 p3).

At Whitley Village School we strongly believe that the teaching of mathematics requires an approach based on mastery principles:

• makes use of mathematical representations that expose the underlying structure of the mathematics;
• helps children to make sense of concepts and achieve fluency through carefully structured questions, exercises and problems that use conceptual and procedural variation
• blends whole class discussion and precise questioning with intelligent practice and, where necessary, individual support.
