Securing Foundations at Year 7

​What is 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 professional 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.

Who can take part?
This opportunity is for teacher 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 experience or novice teachers.

Benefits

• Your students will make progress so they are better able to access a suitable KS3 curriculum
• You will develop your pedagogic and content knowledge of KS1 and KS2 maths
• You will consider approaches which support all students to reason mathematically
• You will work as part of a professional learning community to reflect on your approaches, deepen your understanding about effective approaches, and refine your practice.

 What is the cost? 
The programme is fully funded by Central Maths Hub so is free to ​participating schools.
