At Woodford Primary School, we see mathematics as a creative and highly interconnected discipline that has been developed over centuries, providing the solution to some of history’s most intriguing problems. It is essential to everyday life, critical to science, technology and engineering, and necessary for financial literacy and most forms of employment. A high-quality mathematics education therefore provides a foundation for understanding the world, the ability to reason mathematically, an appreciation of the beauty and power of mathematics, and a sense of enjoyment and curiosity about the subject. We strive to encourage a love of these things both inside and outside of the classroom as we help our children become successful and proficient mathematicians, who can solve problems, fluently recall facts and reason mathematically.
