Calculation Policy All feeder schools to Crispin have adopted the same calculation policy to aid the transition of mathematical methods. The calculation policy was written by a KS1, KS2 and KS3 specialists. Calculation policy is available online for parents and carers to support students at home.
Starting at Crispin All students sit 3 baseline assessments mirroring the KS2 SATs. Students are not set on arrival. Setting is worked out on a triangulation of results (SATs, Baseline assessments and Cognitive Assessment Tests). All students will have started a Maths classbook in primary school along with a ‘How I do methods’ sheet to help them transfer to the maths curriculum.
