Mathematics at Bury C of E Primary School.

Mathematics is a creative and highly interconnected discipline that has been developed over centuries, providing the solution to some of history’s most intriguing problems. It is essential to everyday life, critical to science, technology and engineering, and necessary for financial literacy and most forms of employment. A high-quality mathematics education therefore provides a foundation for understanding the world, the ability to reason mathematically, an appreciation of the beauty and power of mathematics, and a sense of enjoyment and curiosity about the subject. (The National Curriculum 2014)

At Bury C of E Primary School, we aim to enable each pupil to develop within their capabilities, not only the mathematics skills, knowledge and understanding required for later life, but also an enthusiasm and fascination about mathematics itself. We aim for our children to be fluent in basic skills such as number bonds or multiplication tables; to have the confidence and opportunities for reasoning through expressing their mathematical thinking and discussion, and to provide opportunities for pupils to demonstrate and use their mathematics and apply this to everyday situations through problem solving.

We use Complete Maths as our main scheme to support the teaching and learning of mathematics across the school, however teachers use their professional knowledge and judgement to adapt activities and tasks to maximise the sense of enjoyment and success in mathematical learning and understanding.

What is Relationships and Sex Education?

RSE (formerly SRE) is about the emotional, social and cultural development of pupils, and involves learning about relationships, sexual health, sexuality, healthy lifestyles, diversity and personal identity.

RSE involves a combination of sharing information and exploring issues and values.

RSE is not about the promotion of sexual activity or a particular sexual orientation.

Intended outcomes

Once taught the full scheme, children will have met the objectives set out within the Relationships and Health Education statutory guidance and can utilise their learning within their daily lives, from dealing with friendship issues to resilience to making healthy choices and knowing where and how to get help when needed.

Parents and carers currently have the right to withdraw their children only from all or part of those elements of RSE which are not included in the statutory national curriculum Programmes of Study for Science. They are able to withdraw their children from those elements which fall within the non-statutory guidance for PSHE. They will be made aware of the forthcoming statutory changes to Relationships Education and Health Education and the effect this will have on their rights to withdraw. The school will make alternative arrangements for children whose parents or carers withdraw them, which will include supporting parents in finding ways to deliver the content at home.

Any parent or carer who wishes to withdraw their child from non-statutory elements of RSE should, in the first instance, contact the Head Teacher to discuss this further. There will be a  discussion, to explain clearly which areas of RSE are currently statutory and which are non-statutory. Write a description for this tab and include information that will interest site visitors. For example if you are using tabs to show different services write about what makes this service unique. If you are using tabs to display restaurant items write about what makes a specific dish particularly worthwhile or delicious.
