This Primary Maths Subject Leader Network group will focus on supporting leads to effectively implement and sustain improvements to the whole school mathematics curriculum. Ranging from looking at EYFS through to year 6, in these sessions we will look at the role of the subject leader and how to best strategically plan for and deliver continuous improvement and innovation.
11th November – 13:00 – 15:00
In this session we will look at the new EEF Implementation Guidance released last academic year and unpick what key messages there are that relate to how best to lead mathematics. We will also spend time unpicking the Y6 SAT tests from last year and discuss what implications these may have for our teaching across school. Finally, we will also look at maths curriculum evaluation and begin to consider how the best available research and national guidance can support us in evaluating our curriculum offer.
10th February 2025 – 13:00 – 15:00
Location: Maritime Hub, Birkenhead
In this session, we will revisit the Implementation Guidance and reflect on the way in which we are using this in our roles so far. We will also spend time sharing our evaluation of mathematics curriculum offers in each of our schools, sharing effective practice and unpicking problems that we are finding. There will also be a chance for maths leads to bring questions or problems they are facing that can be collaboratively discussed.

Location:Maritime Hub, Birkenhead
This content of this session will be informed by the previous sessions and will focus on practical actions that can be taken by maths leads to help drive improvements.
