Mathematics

Mathematics at JAPS is varied and comprehensive; pupils are given a firm grasp of a wide range of skills. Mathematics is seen as an accessible and enjoyable subject.

Mathematics is taught by Class Teachers throughout the Pre-Prep School using objectives from the primary framework and the Early years Foundation Stage Curriculum. Where the requirements of the JAPS Mathematics Programme are largely met by the Heinemann Mathematics Course chosen by staff for use with this age group. Pupils move on to specialist teaching in Years 5 and 6; teaching materials used here are specifically created for the purpose.

Senior School Entrance Exams are certainly a focus for the older JAPS pupils, but they usually meet this challenge very confidently. More able pupils are very successful in gaining scholarships but JAPS is also proud of the fact that most pupils go on to their Senior Schools feeling positive about Maths, and with confidence in their own abilities.
