Maths: PARENTS' Page

Note to Parents: Along with other sections in this 'maths curriculum' area of our website, we hope that this page will support your own understanding of maths - and perhaps help you see the subject in a new light!

Questions or queries? We'd love to hear them! Don't be afraid to approach your child's class teacher or the maths subject leader (Mr. Barrett) ...
