Evaluation Criteria

2 strengths · 2 concerns · 5 insufficient evidence

Sequencing ApproachStrength

The curriculum follows a mastery-based approach with clear progression through fact families.

Addition covers facts through 9+9, multiplication covers 2s through 12s times tables, subtraction through 20-12, and division through 144÷12, suggesting systematic coverage of each operation
