"Go down deep enough into anything and you find Mathematics"  

Dean Schlicter

At Michael Faraday we believe that every child can become a confident and skilled mathematician. Maths is essential, as it not only provides tools for understanding the world around us, but also helps cultivate wider problem-solving skills.

Maths is all around us and a deep understanding of mathematical concepts will help children to thrive. We use maths every day, from telling the time, planning routes and reading maps, calculating distances and time for travel, measuring ingredients when cooking, monitoring and understanding personal finances, such as saving and spending and so much more.   

We want children to deeply understand number concepts and build on them through problem-solving and challenges. The world is always changing, and future mathematicians and scientists will face new problems. We aim to foster open-mindedness and a love of challenges, preparing our children for the future.

Children should leave Michael Faraday with a lifelong love of maths, feeling confident and excited to challenge their own ideas. Every child should see themselves as a mathematician, ready to overcome barriers and use their problem-solving skills to make a positive difference in the world.
