Maths is a subject which will no longer be moderated through the primary phase. This may sound great…but there is an awfully long time between statutory assessments in Reception and Year 6 to inform us of pupil outcomes.

Are your teachers sufficiently aware of what age-related, mastery outcomes, greater depth, working towards and SEND outcomes truly look like?

Our highly skilled Maths Adviser, and experienced moderator on behalf of Birmingham LA, will share her expertise to enable you to both moderate pupils working across all year groups, and skill up your staff to make accurate judgements. We will look at this in both dynamically, oral AfL situations, and when marking written work which will lead to summative assessment also. Accurate assessment of outcomes will enable teachers to close the gap between
Pupil Premium learners, offer accurate transition data, and consider both ends of the attainment scale in order to future plan accurately with the correct starting points for all learners.

This half day, online course will consider resources which give opportunities to make true and accurate judgements across the primary phase in Maths. This course is best suited to Maths Leads, Assessment Leads and Phase Leads who wish to ensure that quality of education and leadership and management aspects of the EIF are satisfied. It will assist in moderating maths standards across your school and enabling your teachers to share the same vision.
