For some students, the pace of the maths curriculum is too fast and they reach the end of primary school with gaps remaining in their understanding.
Without these strong foundations, it then becomes extremely challenging for them to make sense of the secondary maths learning, leading to them falling further behind, and losing confidence and self-esteem, and, in some, resulting in absenteeism.
If we can identify these students early, close the gaps in their understanding and regain their confidence, these students will be able to rejoin their classes and progress towards their GCSE qualification.
