Sequencing the Curriculum

We choose to use the scheme EssentialsMaths as the planning is based on clear progression of mathematical concepts, that leads to consistency of approach across all key stages. To support the development of skills for all children, we use the concrete, pictorial, abstract approach, which is developed across year groups.

As with all schemes, we reviewed this scheme against our curriculum drivers to ensure it meets our intent and provides our children with the learning they need to be successful when they leave Kenilworth.  We also adapt this scheme against the needs of our children, both individuals and cohorts.

Calculation Policy

We have adopted the HfL ESSENTIALmaths written calculation progression, as it clearly demonstrates the progression of calculations that we follow within our Essential Maths scheme.  It links the key concrete experiences with pictorial and abstract representations (written symbolic and spoken). This supports pupils to move with confidence and deep conceptual understanding through each strand of calculation.
