The benefits of studying Primary Maths
Mathematics equips children with the ability to reason logically, to solve problems and to think in abstract ways. It is integral to nearly all aspects of life. We have developed our Upper Primary Maths homeschooling course to help children develop a positive and enthusiastic attitude towards mathematics that will stay with them.
The main focus of Mathematics is to ensure that children become confident with numbers, using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in a range of contexts. This will ensure that they develop written and mental methods to perform calculations accurately with increasingly large whole numbers. Our Primary Maths homeschooling course covers the requirements of the UK National Curriculum and Cambridge Currculum over six years.
The courses are a partnership between you, your student and the Wolsey Hall Oxford team. You will work with your student using easy-to-follow lesson plans prepared by our Primary Level Tutors. Your student will regularly complete and submit assignments to their tutor. These will be marked and feedback provided. You may wish to video call the tutor following each assignment.
For more details of the curriculum, see a summary of the areas of study here: Years 3 & 4 and Years 5 & 6
Once completed, our Upper Primary Maths course lays the foundations for children to transition smoothly to our Secondary Maths course.

Our Upper Primary Science homeschooling course encourages children to ask scientific questions and begin to appreciate the way in which science will affect the future on a personal, national, and global level. They will learn to ask and answer scientific questions, plan and carry out scientific investigations/ experiments, and learn how to use equipment correctly.
Thank you for a wonderful year of exciting and challenging studies! This year my daughter has become a more clever and responsible human being. The English course was so colourful and exciting with brilliant texts and clever grammar approach. Natalia has improved her punctuation so much!

Our experience with Wolsey Hall Oxford has been excellent! Ella is thriving on her Primary homeschooling courses. She is enjoying the creativeness of the English programme and how it allows learning while bringing in her own interests such as a biography on her favourite author.
