What is it?
Standards in literacy and mathematics have risen substantially in primary schools in recent years. In 2002, 75% of pupils achieved the expected standard for their age in English and 73% did so in mathematics. Although the Government’s targets for 11-year olds for 2002 were not met, there have been major improvements in the teaching of English and mathematics since the introduction of the literacy and numeracy strategies.
This booklet is intended to stimulate discussion about the next steps needed to sustain those improvements and to raise standards further. Some of the material is intended for use with literacy and mathematics coordinators, and some for wider discussion with staff across your school. The booklet is in two parts:
- Part 1 aims to support you and your school set out an agenda for action over the coming year and to set this in the context of national expectations, priorities and support.
- Part 2 contains a set of short papers that can be copied and used to stimulate and support discussion with your staff.
