Our aim at Pheasey Park Farm Primary School 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.
The Maths Mastery programme continues to be rolled out across the school and is now implemented in Years 1 - 5, while Nursery and Year 6 follow the previous long-term plans. In addition, Mastering Number has been implemented into Reception and Years 1 - 5.
Mrs Fereday has curriculum responsibility for maths and she can be contacted if you require further information.
Number Day 2026
School was filled with rockstars, Numberblocks and all things number related as staff and pupils dressed up in celebration of Numbers Day 2026. During key stage assemblies, children learnt about the importance of Maths, what it means to be a mathematician and how having a positive mindset towards Maths and being resilient will help them to succeed. Pupils also learnt about some famous mathematicians and about various careers that mathematical knowledge is essential for, such as engineering and healthcare. In addition to their daily maths lessons, pupils in years 2-6 took part in a battle on TTRockstars, while pupils in Y1 engaged in a Numbots session; Reception pupils watched episodes of Numberblocks that complemented their recent learning while Nursery engaged with Ten Town and had several maths related activities out as part of their provision.
