Mathematics

Subject Lead: Simon McCully

At BCS Prep, Mathematics is taught to build confidence, curiosity, and enjoyment. From early number play to complex problem-solving, pupils learn to see Maths as a practical subject that helps them understand the world around them.

What Pupils Learn

Early Years
Pupils explore Maths through play, developing number recognition, counting, pattern spotting, shape awareness, and mathematical language in everyday contexts.

Key Stage 1
Children build confidence with number and calculation, learning to add, subtract, and explore multiplication and division. They investigate shapes, measurement, and problem-solving using practical and visual methods.

Key Stage 2
Pupils deepen their understanding of the four operations, times tables, fractions, decimals, and percentages. They apply Maths to geometry, measurement, and data handling, developing strong reasoning and problem-solving skills in preparation for Year 7.

How We Teach

  • Practical, hands-on learning

  • Real-world contexts

  • Inclusive and differentiated lessons

  • Use of technology

  • Challenge and extension for confident learners

Enrichment & Assessment

Pupils take part in competitions and challenges including Doodle Maths, NSPCC Number Day, inter-school quizzes, and a Year 6 enterprise project. Progress is monitored through termly GL Assessments, with achievements celebrated through weekly Doodle Awards.
