At St Sebastian's, we are proud to have been awarded the Liverpool Counts Quality Mark, an accreditation that recognises schools that demonstrate excellence in mathematics teaching and learning. This award celebrates our ongoing commitment to ensuring that all pupils develop strong numeracy skills, mathematical confidence, and a lifelong love of maths.

The Liverpool Counts Quality Mark evaluates schools across a range of areas, including:

• The quality of teaching and learning in mathematics, including planning, assessment, and classroom practice.

• The impact of leadership on improving maths outcomes and supporting staff development.

• Pupil progress and attainment, ensuring children achieve their full potential in numeracy.

• The use of innovative approaches and resources, such as Mastering Number, Times Tables Rock Stars, practical problem-solving tasks, and cross-curricular links that make maths relevant and engaging.

Achieving this award demonstrates that our school provides a high-quality, inclusive, and inspiring maths curriculum, and that we continually strive to improve teaching and learning. It also reflects our dedication to celebrating pupils’ successes, supporting their individual needs, and fostering an environment where every child can thrive in mathematics.

This recognition reassures parents that St Sebastian’s is committed to giving every child the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to succeed in maths both now and in the future.
