Ormiston Cliff Park Infant Academy follows the National Curriculum to teach Mathematics.
National Curriculum programmes of study: Mathematics (Key Stages 1 and 2)

Our Year 2 children have access to the Times Tables Rockstars programme. In either paper form or online, Times Tables Rock Stars is a carefully sequenced programme of daily times tables practice. Each week concentrates on a different times table, with a recommended consolidation week for rehearsing the tables that have recently been practised every third week or so. This format has very successfully boosted times tables recall speed for hundreds of thousands of pupils over the last 8 years in over 14,000 schools – both primary and secondary – worldwide.
