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!

🌟 Well done to our TTRS 500 Club children! 🌟
Your commitment to mastering your multiplication facts has earned you a well-deserved ice lolly in the sunshine 🍦☀️ Keep up the great work! #year4stm #mathsstm … See MoreSee Less

📚Maths in Action! 📚
Year 4 and their big smiles, big thinking and big excitement in their maths lessons today! Our children have been loving their brand new maths textbooks and the buzz in the classroom has been incredible!
These textbooks are helping bring our maths learning to life. They support the choral reading we enjoy together during lessons and give every child a clear close up view of the maths we are exploring.
It is wonderful to see their confidence growing as they dive into new challenges and discoveries.
We cannot wait to keep using these amazing textbooks as our maths journey continues. 📚✏️🟰🤩
