At Childer Thornton, we believe that every child can succeed at maths and we aim for all to achieve a depth of understanding through our mastery approach.

We encourage children to be creative in their approach to problem solving and celebrate the ‘best mistakes’ as a way to move learning forwards. Through both our collaborative partner work and whole class learning, we promote curiosity – we want children to ‘notice’ the maths involved and look for patterns and meaning within their work.
