We’re on a mission to build confident mathematicians through instant recall of key maths facts. Each Friday, children receive their Quick Facts to rehearse, aiming for speedy and accurate recall. Our Friday quizzes are already showing fantastic progress in fluency across all year groups! Platforms like Times Table Rockstars and Sumdog are helping make practice fun and engaging. We’re also excited to be part of the Caterham Family of Schools competition—and currently, Copthorne is proudly holding first place! A huge congratulations to Year 5IP, who are leading the leaderboard as the top-performing class. Keep up the brilliant work, everyone!
