Free SATS Analysis Workshop plus Get Involved in 2024/25

BBO Maths Free SATS analysis workshop: Friday 12 July

BBO Maths Hub is holding a free SATS analysis workshop. For Maths Leaders, Year 6 teachers, Year 7 teachers. We are offering the opportunity for Primary schools to look at some common features within the 2024 SATs and analyse your own papers. Secondary schools are invited too, to support transition knowledge.

How can you use common themes from Year 6 pupils to develop your maths curriculum for next year as they move into Year 7?
What were the common errors and misconceptions?
What can primary schools learn from how their pupils’ tackled questions and implement in their planning for next year?
What can secondaries learn about the current Y6 pupils- what can we put in place for them in Y7?

You will also be invited to join Basecamp where you can view pupils’ responses to questions and submit your own examples to work on within the session.

Primary schools: Please ensure that you have downloaded scripts of a range of pupils prior to the session as you will have the opportunity to work on these with others and analyse pupil approaches.

Secondary Schools: The KS2 2024 SATs maths papers will be available for viewing on Basecamp from 11 July. Please register via our website.

Submit your application now to join the teaching for mastery - development project in 2024/25.

Every year, the Maths Hub looks to engage schools that have not yet begun the Teaching for Mastery journey in the project, and we are delighted to announce that applications have now opened to take part in 2024/25. The Teaching for Mastery Programme is a professional development opportunity designed to support teachers in state-funded schools to develop best practice in maths in your school. It is suitable for schools interested in implementing a teaching for mastery approach to maths. Mastering maths means pupils of all ages acquiring a deep, long-term, secure and adaptable understanding of the subject. The phrase ‘teaching for mastery’ describes the elements of classroom practice and school organisation that combine to give pupils the best chances of mastering maths. Achieving mastery means acquiring a solid enough understanding of the maths that’s been taught to enable pupils to move on to more advanced material.

There is a wealth of information about Mastery on the NCETM website. To find out more visit our website using the links below:

For primary schools that are not quite ready to join the project yet, we also have the Mastery Readiness programme which will prepare for implementing a teaching for mastery approach.
