At Biscovey Academy we teach mathematics through a mastery approach, guided by the White Rose schemes of learning. Clear sequencing enables learners to make connections, building upon prior knowledge. The aims and objectives of the National Curriculum are progressively met in a clear sequence of ‘small steps'. Teachers maintain the flexibility to adapt teaching and learning, designing their own tasks and learning activities which meet the needs and engage the interests of their individual children and classes. The aim is that children develop the skills and knowledge that will  prepare them and affect them positively in their lives. At the heart of the curriculum, driven throughout each academic year, will be fundamental fluency/arithmetic skills.
