We hope you will find this page helpful to find out how mathematics is taught across the school, which calculation methods are used and how you can support your child in their learning at home. Our Maths Calculation Policy Overview below sets out the mental and written calculation methods taught in each year group for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
