What Ofsted said about maths at St. Mary’s:
‘The teaching of Mathematics across the school in particularly effective. Teachers use a range of resources to provide pupils with explicit models to support their learning. Because of this, pupils can relate and apply what they have learned in a variety of contexts. This deepens pupils’ understanding.’

UKMT Junior Maths Challenge 2025
We are incredibly proud of our Year 6 pupils, who recently took part in the UK Mathematics Trust Junior Maths Challenge – a national competition typically aimed at pupils up to Year 9.
The questions were exceptionally challenging to and it is very unusual for children of their age to place in the competition. To have taken part, and performed so well, is a remarkable achievement.
This year, we are proud to announce that the children have been awarded a record number of certificates.
Congratulations to Urszula, Milosz, Akshayan, Alexia, Ramona and Faizah who achieved Bronze
. Oliver, Cameron and Milan who achieved silver 
and Miné who amazingly received ‘best in school’ and a gold award! 
Well done to all involved – your hard work, perseverance and mathematical thinking have truly paid off.
BBC Radio Stoke
Year 6 children took part in recording for BBC Radio Stoke’s ‘No Fuss Eleven Plus’ challenge. They had to test the public on their mathematical knowledge and see how well they would get on, if faced with the SATs questions that the children have to answer. We enjoyed meeting the presenters and having a tour of the station afterwards. Listen out for us on the radio!
A huge well done to all the children who made it into the final TTRS 500 Club for this half term! We’re so proud of your fantastic effort and commitment – enjoy your well-earned treats and movie! 🍿🥳 Keep rocking those times tables, Year 4! 🎸✨ #mathsstm #year4stm #ttrs … See MoreSee Less

Year 4 have been using a host of concrete resources for their maths learning today. Focusing on 1s, 10s, 100s and 1000s, they used place value grids, base 10 equipment and stem sentences to explain their reasoning, when answering questions, and used their Oracy skills to build and challenge. #mathsstm #year4stm #oracystm … See MoreSee Less
