At Coleham Primary School, we inspire all children to become confident and enthusiastic mathematicians, who are willing to take risks and are not scared of making mistakes but who learn from those mistakes. We aim to develop mathematical skills and to provide opportunities for their application in meaningful, real-life situations. We strive to provide the children with exciting and challenging investigations, thereby increasing motivation and promoting a positive response to mathematics.
An important part of becoming a well-rounded mathematician is to be able to reason and problem solve. We ensure that opportunities for honing these skills are available every week.
Our Vision
