What is it?
The government’s National Literacy and Numeracy Strategies for primary education have set ambitious targets for attainment at age eleven. By 2004 85% of 11 year olds are expected to achieve level 4 or above in English and 85% to achieve level 4 or above in mathematics. Primary pupils are already well on the way to achieving their targets. The challenge for Key Stage 3 is to secure and build on these achievements and at the same time offer help to those pupils who need additional literacy and mathematics support.
This guidance is for those running summer literacy and numeracy schools. It is written specifically for managers and coordinators in schools. It may also be of interest to local education authority (LEA) officers, headteachers and their staff, and other teaching and support staff involved in providing courses for Year 6 and Year 7 pupils. The guidance seeks to ensure that lessons learned from the summer schools programme in previous years are applied in planning for this year. It highlights the importance of integrating summer schools with the catch-up programmes in Year 7. Experience in previous years indicates that schools placed more emphasis on running summer schools than on the Year 7 catchup programmes. It is important that these are seen as two closely-linked programmes.
This summer school guidance should be read in conjunction with the guidance contained in the literacy and numeracy Year 7 catch-up programmes.
