About the course

Delegates had the opportunity to reflect on maths teaching in Year 6 with a presentation from the Maths Hub. This focused on planning and teaching the different content domains.

Delegates discussed the 2024 reading paper and considered the implications for teaching reading in Year 6. They also unpicked the different question domains that appear within the reading Standard Assessment Tasks (SATs) paper.

Delegates had the opportunity to revisit the assessment frameworks for writing and complete standardisation activities, developing teacher confidence in accurate assessment. Delegates heard from local schools about how they teach English in their settings. Schools had time to work together, sharing books and best practice.
