At Upwell Academy, we teach a broad and balanced curriculum. To raise the profile of all the subjects, we Showcase Subjects for our parents and carers to observe across the different year groups and Key Stages. This supports our families to acquire a sound understanding of progression and expectations within the subject and opportunity to see the methods and resources we use. It is also an opportunity answer questions that are raised. Please do speak to Miss Ellington, who leads Mathematics at the Academy, if you have any further questions.
