Our aim at Burlington Junior School is to encourage children to be confident and independent mathematicians who are able to apply secure strategies to working with the maths they encounter, specifically with maths lessons and also across the broad school curriculum.

At Burlington Junior School we use a mastery program of work called Effective Maths. You can view this scheme at the following link.
