It is integral to all aspects of life and with this in mind we endeavour to ensure that children develop a healthy and enthusiastic attitude towards mathematics that will stay with them to encourage economic wellbeing. Mathematical experiences help develop skills such as communication, generalizing, evaluating and enquiry. At Holme Community School, we recognise this importance and therefore provide our children with a wide range of mathematical experiences. Mathematics is taught through a daily lesson using both shared and independent practical activities, which equips children with the knowledge, skills and understanding to use and apply in exploring and investigating mathematics in real life situations. We aim to provide a mathematics curriculum, which will support children to become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, able to reason mathematically and solve problems. ### How was our mathematics curriculum developed? Our curriculum for mathematics is based on the national curriculum. You can read about the maths national curriculum [here](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-curriculum-in-england-mathematics-programmes-of-study/national-curriculum-in-england-mathematics-programmes-of-study). We use the White Rose Maths scheme of work as we believe their approach supports children to develop fluency and embeds mathematics within reasoning and problem solving. ### Curriculum Overview Mathematics Sequence of Learning 600 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/holme-community-school-2/files/documents/white-rose-maths-scheme.pdf) ### Progression in Calculations (Addition & Subtraction) Addition and Subtraction Calculations 3.13 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/holme-community-school-2/files/documents/addition-and-subtraction-calculation-policy-july-2022-v2.pdf) Calculation Policy March 2021-2024 1.80 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/holme-community-school-2/files/documents/calculation-policy-march-2021-2024.pdf) ### Progression in Vocabulary Mathematics Progression in Vocabulary 317 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/holme-community-school-2/files/documents/mathematics-progression-in-vocabulary.pdf) ### Curriculum - [Our Curriculum](https://www.holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/our-curriculum) - [Phonics and Early Reading](https://www.holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/phonics-and-early-reading) - [Early Years Foundation Stage](https://www.holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/early-years-foundation-stage) - [English](https://www.holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/english) - [Mathematics](https://www.holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/mathematics) - [Science](https://www.holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/science) - [History](https://www.holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/history) - [Geography](https://www.holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/geography) - [Physical Education](https://www.holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/physical-education) - [Art & Design](https://www.holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/art-design) - [Design & Technology](https://www.holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/design-technology) - [Computing](https://www.holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/computing) - [Music](https://www.holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/music) - [French](https://www.holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/french) - [Personal, Social and Health Education (PHSE)](https://www.holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/personal-social-health-education-phse) - [Religious Education](https://www.holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/religious-education) - [Enhancing our Curriculum](https://www.holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/enhancing-our-curriculum) ![Holme Community School](https://files.schudio.com/holme-community-school-2/images/logo/imgi_1_logo.png) ### Holme Community School North Road Holme Carnforth LA6 1QA 01524 781205 ### Useful Links - [Admissions](https://www.holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/admissions) - [Policies](https://www.holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/policies) - [Term Dates](https://www.holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/parents/term-dates) - [Contact Us](https://www.holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/contact) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/HolmeSchool/) ### Translation © Copyright 2025–2026 Holme Community School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
