Our Maths
At West Hampstead Primary School we are very proud of our work with the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics (NCETM) who run a network of 40+ Maths Hubs all over the country. Our Maths Lead, Miss Kwa, is the Primary Lead of the London Central and North West Maths Hub, which began in 2014 led by The St Marylebone CE Secondary School, Westminster.
This means that:
- Our teachers get the most up-to-date training
- Our children get the most innovative teaching
- We share good Maths practice with other schools across the Hub
As a result, attainment and progress in Maths at West Hampstead is above Camden and national attainment.
| 2022 Attainment % | WHPS | Camden | National |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected | 87 | 84 | 71 |
| Greater Depth | 33 | 29 | 22 |
