YEARS 5-8 CONTINUITY

Strengthen the transition from primary to secondary school

Who can take part?

 

The project is for those who teach and/or have responsibility for the curriculum in Years 5-8. Participants may be subject leaders or teachers with responsibility for transition in a school. They need to be supported to try out different tasks with their students and be released to attend three full-day workshops.

 

What is involved?

 

Work Groups in this project focus on curriculum and pedagogical continuity over Years 5 to 8. Participants will collaborate with colleagues from across KS2 and KS3, working on mathematical tasks together and reflecting on the resulting activity and learning.

​

Sessions will take place in KS2 and KS3 settings, offering the chance to see tasks in the context of a classroom. School-based activities between meetings encourage participants to make use of the resources with their own pupils.

​

When and where?

​

Participants will have the opportunity to watch live lessons as part of these workshops.

  • You will make common use of approaches, representations and language across phases

  • You will deepen your knowledge and understanding of the curriculum across KS2 and KS3 and the expectations of pupils at the end of each Key Stage

  • You and your cross-phase colleagues will collaborate on issues of curriculum and pedagogy as a normal part of your schools’ transition practice

 

What is the cost?

 

The Years 5-8 Continuity project is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme so is free to participating schools.
