This week in tutor time, your child will be learning about the virtue 'Neighbourliness'.
The Maths department is fully staffed by a dedicated team who are keen to adapt to a range of teaching approaches from experience and current research.
Intent
Mathematics at Thurstable School is for students to see the value, beauty and relationships between the theoretical and practical aspects of mathematics. To understand the key principals of mathematics, think mathematically and become numerate and confident problem solving members of the community. Our curriculum is a spiral curriculum to ensure students meet skills regularly and further challenge students each year.
