Our aim across Elston Hall Learning Trust (EHLT) is for all children to enjoy mathematics and have a secure and deep understanding of fundamental mathematical concepts and procedures when they leave us to go to secondary school. We want children to see the mathematics that surrounds them every day and enjoy developing vital life skills in this subject.
​
As a school we follow the 2014 National Curriculum and cover the subjects and topics as outlined in the statutory guidance.
​
Kevin Pyrce has curriculum responsibility for maths and he can be contacted if you require further information.
