Curriculum

Maths

The aim of our Maths department is to create inquisitive, independent, resilient and skilful mathematicians who have a passion for this all-important subject.  Through practical activities, the exposure to relevant real-life material and an emphasis placed on the process rather than simply the end result, we make Maths alluring for all of our pupils and ensure a sense of achievement is experienced at every level.

 

Throughout the school, the acquisition of efficient mental maths strategies is granted a significant role and these strategies support pupils in all walks of their mathematical career.

 

From Year 5 pupils are prepared scrupulously for 11+ and Common Entrance examinations.

 

Outside of the classroom, Atom Learning, MyMaths and Mangahigh computer platforms are endorsed and support pupils’ understanding both at home and at school.

 

In a world where we have technology at our fingertips, we are less concerned with fashioning human calculators. Instead, pupils leave NHP as creative mathematical thinkers with a practised penchant for problem-solving.
