Curriculum Intent

It is the intention of St Gregory’s Mathematics department to deliver a curriculum that will not only meet the requirements of the National Curriculum but will prepare pupils for the real world. Centred upon our belief ‘Master your CRAFT, exceed your potential’ our curriculum is designed to be accessible for all, challenging and enjoyable.  

Our five year scheme of learning enables students to build on prior knowledge; thus allowing for a smooth transition from primary years through to secondary and beyond. We want our students to leave St Gregory’s with transferable skills that will enable them to solve problems, communicate, visualise, think analytically, self-regulate, reflect and more. It is through such skills that our students will not only function in society and the world of work but will become successful leaders and educators themselves having mastered their craft.  

Coherence - breaking down problems into small interconnected steps  

Representation and Structure – using concrete, pictorial and abstract ways to enable all pupils to access and solve problems 

Analytical Thinking – providing opportunities for pupils to think through and share their ideas 

Fluency and Variation knowledge of key mathematical facts, enabling pupils to make connections and think flexibly. 

Transferable Skills – equips pupils with the tools to tackle various situations in everyday life. 

In doing this we endeavour to promote an appreciation of Mathematics as a creative and highly interconnected discipline.
