Our Vision Statement
We will create a positive mathematical experience that will allow students to
reason, communicate and think critically in an effort to prepare them to be life-long
problem solvers.

Holistic Assessment
Holistic assessment refers to the ongoing gathering
of information on different facets of a child from
various sources, with the aim of providing
quantitative and qualitative feedback to support and
guide the child’s development.
Assessment is an important aspect of teaching and
learning which should be effectively used to support
the holistic development of our pupils.

How do you help your child? Build interest and enjoyment in learning Maths
Authentic learning Linking Maths to everyday life-experiences
Refrain from over-preparing
Play games (eg. Snake and ladder, puzzles, spatial visualisation games)
Provide a positive and non-threatening environment for Math learning
