Why Our Approach Works

Most pupils don’t struggle because they need more practice - they struggle because the foundations aren’t secure.

Our approach is built around:

Subitising first – see numbers at a glance before counting.
Deliberate CPA loops – concrete, pictorial, and abstract representations that cycle to strengthen understanding.
Cognitive load awareness – reduce overwhelm so learning sticks.
Retrieval & spacing – short, repeated encounters that embed knowledge in long-term memory.

Small changes in how we practise make a bigger difference than more of the same.
