Numeracy is developed on a daily basis. All concepts are introduced using concrete apparatus and gradually moved to the abstract. Having smaller classes enables the teacher to give individual attention to ensure that the concepts are grasped correctly.

Formal and informal assessments are used throughout the year. Pupils receive a progress report at the end of each term.
