Numeracy Strategy

It is our aim to give all students a secure understanding of basic numeracy skills. Good numeracy skills are essential in the workplace and knowledge is critical for everyday life.

As part of teaching numeracy we encourage our students to describe and explain their strategies and reasoning. Almost all subjects depend on students having a basic competency to enable them to understand and interpret numerical and analytical information.

We would encourage parents to support their children by referring to and using the basic numeracy skills booklet. We also encourage students to carry out independent learning by using the recommended websites, some of which the school contributes an annual subscription to for each student.
