What is it?

Primary National Strategy resources are currently available that focus on raising attainment from level 3 to 4. The 2006 Primary Framework for literacy and mathematics (www.standards.dfes.gov.uk/primaryframeworks) already includes resources and guidance to help teachers to maximise children's progress across the primary phase. This leaflet provides information about some of the existing resources specifically designed to help teachers in Years 5 and 6, whose children are working at level 3 and may need specific support to reach level 4 by the end of Key Stage 2. These resources offer guidance on planning for and providing this additional support to ensure children achieve age-related expectations by the end of Key Stage 2.

A set of frequently asked questions, with responses that provide specific links and references to a range of resources and supporting materials relevant to teachers in Years 5 and 6, can be found on the back and centre pages of this leaflet. Some of the materials referred to are currently being updated in the light of the renewed Framework and will be available in spring 2007.
