dc.description.abstractBackground: The purpose of the study was to reduce the gap in attainment between English and mathematics at National Curriculum Level 4 in selected schools by providing targeted intervention and CPD approaches. Aims: The main aim of this development work was to reduce the gap in attainment between English and mathematics at National Curriculum Level 4 in selected schools by providing targeted support and CPD. Methods: The participants included Primary Strategy Consultants, supported teachers, and their students. The project focused on targeted children with barriers to progress in mathematics, and aimed to increase the percentage of children attaining NC level 4 in mathematics. Methods used included four school visits with hands-on learning, four cluster meetings, two CPD days, and use of resources such as ITPs, excel spreadsheets, and Beam's online 'Maths of the Month' games and puzzles. Findings: The main findings of the project were that targeted children with barriers to progress in mathematics had increased confidence and improved performance, with 80% of them being able to confidently identify the place value of 10th and 100th. Teachers also had a clearer understanding of the standard expected to attain NC level 4. Implications: The findings suggest that providing targeted support and creative teaching methods can help narrow the gap in attainment at the National Curriculum Level 4, resulting in improved confidence and enthusiasm for mathematics.en
