Maths
Overview
In Year 4, we follow the First4Maths scheme, which carefully builds children’s knowledge and skills across number, calculation, fractions, shape, and measures. The scheme provides a clear progression that prepares pupils for the multiplication tables check, while also encouraging them to explain their thinking and apply strategies to solve problems. Lessons are practical, engaging, and designed to develop both fluency and reasoning in maths.

Religious Education
Through our final topics, 'To the ends of the Earth' and 'Dialogue and Encounter', children will deepen their understanding of the Church's season. They will also explore how Jesus passed on his authority and how we can live this out through Catholic Social Teaching. Finally, we will focus on the religion of Islam.
