St Sebastian's are currently taking part in a special maths and numeracy project which is focussed on "Numeracy for life skills".

This project is called the Liverpool Counts Quality Mark (LCQM).

As a school we are encouraged to demonstrate how highly we value the importance of mathematics and numeracy.

We aim to:

• promote positive attitudes towards numeracy and mathematics;

• ensure that all our children are given the opportunity to develop their basic numeracy skills;

• enable our pupils to have the knowledge and confidence to use and apply these skills in many different real life situations;

• support adults in our school community to encourage the children to make connections in their numeracy and mathematics lessons to real life contexts and with other areas of the curriculum.

It is extremely important that we do this as a whole school, involving all pupils, staff, parents / carers, governors and the local community.

Over the next few months we will be running a variety of activities that we hope as many parents / carers and the wider community will be able to get involved in.
