Our Maths Vision
At Darley and Summerbridge Primary Schools, we aim to inspire a lifelong love of mathematics, equipping pupils with the confidence, resilience, and skills to explore mathematical concepts deeply and apply them in various contexts. By adopting the White Rose Maths approach, we commit to developing each child’s fluency, reasoning, and problem-solving skills, ensuring a solid mathematical foundation for future learning.

Foster Fluency in Mathematical Fundamentals
Through the White Rose Maths approach, we ensure that pupils engage in varied and frequent practice of key mathematical concepts. Structured lesson sequences allow pupils to revisit and consolidate prior learning while building fluency in core operations. This progressive practice supports pupils in developing the ability to recall facts and apply methods accurately and efficiently, forming a solid base for tackling more advanced mathematics.
Encourage Mathematical Reasoning
We believe that true understanding comes from exploring patterns, making connections, and justifying solutions. Using the White Rose Maths curriculum, pupils are encouraged to think critically and articulate their reasoning. We support them in following lines of enquiry, identifying relationships, and making generalisations, enabling them to confidently develop arguments, proofs, and justifications with mathematical language.
Build Problem Solving Skills Through Mastery
White Rose Maths empowers pupils to apply their mathematical knowledge to a variety of contexts, both routine and non-routine. They learn to break down complex problems into manageable steps, exploring different strategies to find solutions. We nurture their ability to persevere and adapt, developing the confidence to approach challenges creatively and the resilience to try new approaches when faced with difficulties.
