At Greenside, our goal is for pupils to deeply understand mathematics through the CPA approach (Concrete, Pictorial, Abstract), developing a passion for the subject and resilience as learners. We aim for fluency, reasoning, and precise use of mathematical language, ensuring our curriculum prepares pupils for future educational steps.

We encourage pupils to master concepts quickly and face challenging problems, while those needing reinforcement can solidify foundational knowledge before progressing. Continual revision and extension deepen and broaden their understanding as they advance through school.

Effective mathematical communication is crucial for justifying and discussing ideas, helping pupils solidify their knowledge and correct misunderstandings through enriched vocabulary and dialogue. Mathematics also supports learning in sciences and other subjects, integrating knowledge across disciplines.

For SEND pupils, we personalise the curriculum to address individual needs and ensure preparation for adulthood with quality life outcomes. Our flexible curriculum supports the development of knowledge and skills, promoting independence and maximising potential for all pupils, including those with SEND.
