Mathematics is essential to everyday life, critical to science, technology and engineering, and necessary for financial literacy and most forms of employment. At Peatmoor, we aim to provide a high-quality mathematics education to provide a foundation for understanding the world, the ability to reason mathematically, an appreciation of the beauty and power of mathematics, and a sense of enjoyment and curiosity about the subject.


The national curriculum for mathematics aims to ensure that all pupils:


At Peatmoor, we believe that the key to becoming a confident mathematician is built upon the following Four Pillars of Calculation:

  1. A robust understanding of place value
  2. A really good bank of memorised number facts
  3. A set of models/images on which they draw when doing calculations
  4. A real competence in doubling and halving

Through regular practise and the use of online games, we endeavour to support the children to develop a secure understanding of number, based on these Four Pillars of Calculation, in order for them to become successful mathematicians of the future.
