Curriculum Intent

Maths 

At Spa Academy our intent in maths is for pupils to develop a secure understanding and a sense of love, curiosity and excitement for maths as a subject. As one of the core subjects taught, we give the teaching and learning of maths the prominence it requires. We provide a progressive maths curriculum where pupils regularly develop and apply fluency, problem solving and reasoning skills. They are able to apply these skills to a range of problems, make important connections and use precise mathematical language. The curriculum is designed to enable all pupils to be challenged which provides them with great encouragement and makes them more determined to succeed. We want our pupils to enjoy learning maths, which comes through a growing belief in their own ability to achieve successfully within the challenges they undertake. Our maths curriculum is achievable for all and we aim for each child to fulfil their potential.
