Carrington Curriculum Vision
Our unique children deserve an inclusive, holistic curriculum that shapes them as confident, inquisitive and proud individuals. At Carrington, children know that they matter, they are important and that they bring something to this world that no-one else can.
Through purposeful, broad and rich experiences, we aim for every child to leave us with an empowered voice and a life-long passion for learning, equipped with the skills to go on and be compassionate and active citizens both locally and beyond.
We believe in an ambitious, knowledge-rich curriculum because children are empowered by knowing things. The specifics of what children learn matter and subject traditions are respected, providing the vital inspiration, challenge and confidence to determine their own future.
Maths Vision
Mathematics is a tool for life, which provides a way of viewing and making sense of the world. It is used to analyse and communicate information and ideas, and to tackle a range of tasks and real-world problems. Through our maths teaching, we promote a love of maths and enable our all children to become enthusiastic, creative and confident mathematicians, who apply their skills to the world around them.
Carrington’s maths curriculum aims to provide a curriculum which is accessible to all and will maximise the development of every child’s mathematical understanding. ‘Maths Talk’ is an integral part of our maths lessons, encouraging children to use mathematical language to discuss concepts at depth and enabling them to make meaningful connections across a range of mathematical ideas and representations.
Through varied and frequent practice with increasingly complex problems over time, children will develop strong ‘number sense’: notice patterns, reflect on the most efficient methods and become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics.
