Description
Dear Colleague,
Mathematics is one of the most frequently selected subjects during inspection — and one of the most challenging for leaders to discuss with confidence.
Inspectors no longer want to hear generic descriptions of your maths provision.
They want evidence.
They want rationale.
They want impact.
Can your Mathematics Leader confidently explain:
• Why the curriculum is sequenced in its current order?
• How fluency, reasoning and problem solving are developed across the school?
• How mastery principles are embedded in classroom practice?
• How disadvantaged pupils and pupils with SEND achieve success in mathematics?
• How mathematical vocabulary is developed from EYFS to Year 6?
• What monitoring has revealed and what action has been taken as a result?
Many leaders are surprised by the depth of mathematical subject knowledge inspectors expect.
This course ensures you won’t be.
During this highly practical training, we will explore:
✓ What inspectors really look for in mathematics
✓ Curriculum design and sequencing
✓ Fluency, reasoning and problem solving
✓ Mastery teaching and the CPA approach
✓ Assessment, misconceptions and intervention
✓ Mathematical vocabulary and oracy
✓ Inclusion, SEND and disadvantage
✓ Monitoring, evaluation and demonstrating impact
✓ Challenging Ofsted-style questions and model answers
You will leave with greater confidence, stronger subject knowledge and a clear understanding of exactly what you need to know, do and say during inspection.
Because outstanding mathematics leadership isn’t about knowing the answers.
It’s about understanding the mathematics behind them.
Book your place today.
Best wishes,
Helen Youngman
School Improvement & Ofsted Consultant
