Maths

A high-quality mathematics education enables pupils to understand and make sense of the world around them, develop confidence and resilience, and acquire knowledge and skills that are essential for future learning, employment and adult life.

At EHPA, mathematics is taught in accordance with the statutory National Curriculum and informed by the Department for Education's guidance on teaching mathematics, the Education Endowment Foundation's evidence-informed recommendations, the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics (NCETM), the Maths Hubs programme and other relevant, high-quality research and professional guidance.

Our aim at EHPA is for every child to become a confident and capable mathematician.

We want all pupils to:

  • develop fluency in the fundamentals of mathematics;
  • develop deep conceptual understanding;
  • reason mathematically, using precise mathematical language;
  • solve both familiar and non-routine problems;
  • apply mathematics in different contexts;
  • make connections between mathematical ideas;
  • develop secure knowledge of number and arithmetic;
  • develop increasing independence in selecting and applying appropriate strategies;
  • retain and retrieve important mathematical knowledge;
  • recognise the importance and relevance of mathematics in everyday life;
  • develop positive attitudes towards mathematics, including confidence, curiosity and resilience.

Curriculum resources and approach

The school follows a mastery approach to mathematics, using high-quality curriculum resources to support coherent sequencing, consistency and progression.

From Year 1 to Year 6, the school uses White Rose Maths as its principal mathematics curriculum resource, supplemented by Number Sense resources and other high-quality materials where these enhance pupils' understanding and fluency.

In EYFS, the school uses White Rose Maths alongside Mastering the Curriculum to provide a broad, progressive and developmentally appropriate mathematics curriculum. These resources support the development of strong foundations in number, including subitising, counting, cardinality, comparison, composition, number relationships and early calculation.

A New Chapter for Our School


We are delighted to announce that, from 1st September 2026, our school will officially become part of Tyne and Wear Learning Trust.


This is an exciting new chapter for our school community. As a member of the Trust, we will be part of a family of six schools, working collaboratively to provide the very best educational opportunities and outcomes for our children and young people.


The Trust is led by Chief Executive Officer, Mrs Ashley Emmerson, and brings together schools with a shared commitment to high-quality education, strong leadership and positive opportunities for every pupil.


Our school will continue to retain its individual identity and strong sense of community, while benefiting from the collaboration, expertise and shared resources that being part of a wider Trust provides.


We look forward to working closely with our new Trust colleagues, families and the wider community as we begin this exciting journey together.
