Our aim is to raise the achievement of all students by seeking to develop their numeracy skills by a consistent and accurate application across the curriculum. Through standardising the approach, it will enable students to recognise mathematics in a wider variety of situations and thus allowing them to transfer their numeracy skills in a broader context, not purely the skills of computation. It is important to recognise that all teachers are teachers of numeracy. It is the key to success and the long-term sustainable improvement in attainment.
Sydney Russell School will;
- Adopt a whole-school approach to Numeracy across the curriculum in order to raise standards of attainment for all students.
- Recognise the importance of Numeracy in all subjects across the curriculum.
- Identify similarities and differences in Mathematical teaching in different curriculum areas and develop a common approach
- Encourage staff to take responsibility for the development of numeracy in each subject area
- Raise staff and student awareness of key Numeracy strategies through whole school Inset time
Encourage students to transfer Mathematical skills and apply them in everyday and unknown context
