Who can take part?

This project is for teachers working with those Year 7 students who have not met age related expectations in maths, particularly students whose attainment is in the bottom 20-30% of the national cohort at the end of KS2. It is suitable for experienced or novice teachers.

What's Involved?

Participants will gain access to high-quality resources designed by experts in the pedagogy and expectations of maths at both KS2 and KS3.

This opportunity aims to provide professorial development and resources for secondary maths teachers so they are better equipped to support students with gaps in understanding from previous Key Stages. Teachers will develop their understanding of KS1 and KS2 maths curriculum domain-specific knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge in order to better enable these students to access the KS3 curriculum.
