As such, it is important for schools to provide a strong Maths education for their students. One way that BISS is doing this is through the implementation of the White Rose Maths scheme. Recently, James Callan, our Maths Leader, held a Maths parent workshop to inform parents about the White Rose scheme and how it is implemented across different year groups.

It's all about the learning
Whether your child is a student in the Primary or Secondary School, the foundations for their learning are made in the Early Years. This area of the school looks different to the regular classrooms in the more senior sections of the school because it is here that we create their future by setting them on the right path for success. It is here that we provide opportunities for children to explore, evolve and adapt to their ever-changing world inside the school buildings as well as in our outside learning spaces. It is here where firm foundations create strong and sustainable futures.

What is academic excellence (in maths)?

For me, this is a difficult question to answer as there is not one answer; at BISS Puxi we look at several hundred versions of academic excellence as all children are different.

In my 30+ years as an educator, I have found that some parents have different definitions of personalised learning, while others may not be very familiar with the concept or the concrete benefits it brings to students at school!
