White Rose Maths at Llanrhidian Primary School

At Llanrhidian Primary, we use the White Rose Maths scheme to help every child develop a deep, lasting understanding of maths. This trusted, research-based approach breaks learning into small, manageable steps, making maths accessible and enjoyable for all pupils.

A key feature of White Rose Maths is the CPA approach—Concrete, Pictorial, Abstract. This means children first explore new concepts using real objects (like counters or cubes), then move on to visual representations (like drawings or diagrams), and finally use numbers and symbols to solve problems. This method helps children truly understand what they’re doing, not just memorise steps.

White Rose Maths supports all learners by:

• Building confidence through clear, structured lessons
• Encouraging reasoning and problem-solving from an early age
• Providing opportunities to revisit and deepen understanding
• Offering challenge for those ready to go further

We believe that every child can succeed in maths with the right support and encouragement.
