Maths at Aston Fields
Mathematics is taught in a fun and interactive format making use of an extensive range of resources both inside and outside the classroom. All classrooms are equipped with interactive whiteboards and pupils are encouraged to apply their mathematics to a variety of situations. In addition there are two computer suites and a class set of laptops available for lessons that allow pupils to use mathematical software.
Curriculum
Key Stage 2
We aim to provide personalised learning for pupils based on ability and their individual strengths. The policy for teaching calculation was reviewed by both first and middle schools and it is expected pupils will benefit from a common policy as they move from first to middle school. Curriculum evenings for Year 5 parents will be held in the autumn term to strengthen the home school partnership. Pupils sit their Key Stage 2 mathematics SAT at the end of Year 6.

SetsYear 5Pupils are taught within ability groups from the autumn term of Year 5. Decisions are based on the information received from the first schools and baseline assessments completed within their first month at Aston Fields. This ensures from the outset that the children are taught mathematics at the level and pace most appropriate to their needs. As pupils settle into school they are constantly monitored and each half term their progress is assessed and their position reviewed. Some pupils settle very quickly, others take longer so we feel it is important to allow them time to adjust to their new surroundings.
