Numeracy Policy

Numeracy is a key skill in students' learning and all students are entitled to quality experiences in this area and that the teaching of numeracy is the responsibility of all staff and the school's approaches should be as consistent as possible across the curriculum.

Curriculum areas will endeavour to ensure that materials presented to students will match their capability both in subject content and in numerical demands. They will liase with the Special Needs and Mathematics departments when appropriate in order to support their teaching of numeracy.

All teachers should consider pupils' ability to cope with the numerical demands of everyday life and provide opportunities for students to:

  • handle number and measurement competently, mentally, orally and in writing;
  • use calculators accurately and appropriately;
  • interpret and use numerical and statistical data represented in a variety of forms.
