The maths curriculum at Bourne is shaped around the mathematical strands and objectives, as stipulated by the National Curriculum for England and Wales.   Our curriculum  adopts a mastery approach, where mathematical strands are studied in depth (or ‘mastered’), enabling pupils to develop a depth and breadth of mathematical understanding and application, continually practising and using their acquired skills as they progress through the scheme of work.  The school does not offer disadvantaged pupils or pupils with SEND a reduced curriculum.  

All staff follow an overview for their year group to make sure all objectives are covered over the academic year.   The objectives for each year group is as follows:
