Maths
Brimsdown is a Maths No Problem accredited school and as part of our continuing work with the Maths Hubs and our firm commitment to improving standards in Maths for all children, we hold Singapore maths open mornings to showcase the huge transformation that we have embraced in the teaching and learning of Maths at Brimsdown. These mornings demonstrate the effectiveness of a text book approach, coupled with workbooks and assessment papers for years 1 to 6, and are based on the evidence-based approach developed in Singapore that clearly embeds the mastery curriculum.

Fast Feedback
We host Fast Feedback conferences along with Lavender Primary School, also part of The Ivy Learning Trust. Fast Feedback is our no marking approach. We believe feedback should be meaningful, manageable, motivating. Fast Feedback reduces workload for teachers, increases quality feedback and improves the outcomes for pupils. We trust in our teachers and want them to have time to focus on the importance of teaching outstanding lessons .
