Mr Flanagan is the subject leader for maths.

Mathematics

At Shirland Primary School, we follow a mastery approach: we believe that maths is for everybody and that everybody can achieve in maths. We aim to spark your child's natural curiosity through challenging and engaging lessons. Our goal is for all children to develop their mathematical fluency in order to master key knowledge and be able to make connections across mathematical concepts. In doing so, they will have the tools, confidence and perseverance to reason mathematically, communicating their ideas through precise terminology and varied representations. Learners should then be able to fearlessly tackle mathematical challenges, with the belief that maths can be achieved and enjoyed by all.
