Maths

We teach Maths at Pensford not just because it's the 'done thing' but because we firmly believe that it is important for our children to be able to solve increasingly complex types of problems as they grow up.  Often these involve numbers and shapes but our approach to problem solving is wider than that, supporting the children to develop rational thinking in a wide range of contexts.

You can see our curriculum for maths here and get an idea of the types of philosophical thinking we teach at Key Stage 2 here. 

At Pensford we work hard to make learning as interactive and inspiring as possible. Making the most of all the spaces available including the outdoor spaces.
