St Anne's School is a Member of a Mastery Maths Hub
St Anne's have been awarded a place in the Berkshire Mastery Maths Hub. This means that our Maths Lead works with a Mastery Specialist and joins with other teachers in a research group to plan, observe and discuss teaching for mastery. In between meetings, teachers explore mastery approaches in their own classrooms and across the school.
Mastering maths means pupils acquiring a deep, long-term, secure and adaptable understanding of the subject. The phrase ‘teaching for mastery’ describes the elements of classroom practice and school organisation that combine to give pupils the best chances of mastering maths. Achieving mastery means acquiring a solid enough understanding of the maths that’s been taught to enable pupils to move on to more advanced material.
