Maths
Thank you to those who have supported staff during our information evenings.
At St Mary's, we follow the White Rose curriculum. Each curriculum step has an even smaller step. Teachers use a range of concrete, abstract and pictorial methods to teach these smaller steps. To find out more you can head to the White Rose Maths website.
