The Education Endowment Fund recently published the Covid-19 Support Guide for Schools which details the various ways that ‘Catch Up’ Funding can be used to enhance and support a recovery curriculum for pupils when they return to school. One of their suggestions is interventions.

At Services For Education, we work with Edge Hill University to provide a variety of different Maths interventions, including the FirstClass@Number Programme; the positive impact of which has been evidenced by EEF. Please feel free to browse our interventions, below.

The 1stClass@Number Programme provides a choice of three highly effective, small group programmes for children who need additional support with the KS1 mathematics curriculum. A specially trained teaching assistant delivers up to 30 half-hour sessions to a group of up to four children, for 10 -15 weeks. The children continue to take part in their normal class mathematics lessons.

Success@Arithmetic is a calculation-based intervention for KS2 and KS3 (years 3 to 8) pupils who struggle with arithmetic, number and written calculation skills. Success@Arithmetic is delivered locally by an accredited ECC Trainer and lasts 2.5 days for both the lead teacher and teaching assistant.

If you would like to find out more about our interventions, click on the pictures above, or visit our informational page here. We offer all of the above on a bespoke basis to fit the needs of your school. To find out more about this, please email us.
