Thanks to headteacher and maths co-ordinator Kate Frood and her team, pupils at Eleanor Palmer Primary in north London achieve well above average National Test results in maths. In Year 3 the emphasis is on consolidating number, number, number and we watch the class exploring number fact families and number bonds up to twenty. The headteacher outlines her role in maintaining standards in the school and we sit in on a classroom observation and feedback session. |

Thanks to headteacher and maths co-ordinator Kate Frood and her team, pupils at Eleanor Palmer Primary in north London achieve well above average National Test results in maths. In Year 4 the emphasis is on pupils developing a solid grasp of their times tables, upon which so much mathematics further up the school relies. We watch the class exploring the four times table in detail, using ping pong tables and challenge questions, until pupils discover how much more they know once the basics are secure. After school, the staff explore the new online Renewed Framework for Mathematics and give their initial reactions. |

Thanks to headteacher and maths co-ordinator Kate Frood and her team, pupils at Eleanor Palmer Primary in north London achieve well above average National Test results in maths. Kate has a great personal enthusiasm for maths, which she communicates, throughout the school, from maths mentions in assembly, to lunchtime Card Schools and other maths games for pupils. Once a week she teaches Year 5 and we see her putting them through an intense session of number-based problem solving. This helps pupils build on the mathematical knowledge they have and to develop genuine mathematical agility - and to genuinely enjoy maths. |

Thanks to headteacher and maths co-ordinator Kate Frood and her team, pupils at Eleanor Palmer Primary in north London achieve well above average National Test results in maths. The key in Year 6 is to ensure that pupils are secure and confident with their mathematical knowledge and skills, and we see the class teacher consolidating her pupils understanding of different methods of subtraction. We also follow the headteacher as she does detailed lesson sampling to assess individual pupil progress, and sit in on the professional discussion afterwards. To conclude, the KS2 team share the secret of their success - sharing ideas, talking about maths, communicating their enthusiasm for maths, and inspiring leadership! |
