PUPILS at Brampton Abbotts and Bridstow CE Primary Schools were rocking out recently in a new approach to learning their times tables.

The two schools, Federated back in 2016, have signed up to use the online game and app ‘Times Table Rock Stars’ which helps children to master their times tables through a mix of fun rock music themed games.

Mr Brearey, executive Headteacher said: “Times tables are an intrinsic part of learning mathematics in order to achieve a good level of fluency. Times Table Rock Stars is a fun and engaging approach to the learning of times tables through a mix of online games and more traditional approaches that we believe will help our children to excel. Both teachers and children, including me, enjoyed dressing up as rock stars for the day. Children are already actively engaging with their learning on a deeper level following the launch.”
