Mrs Ruddock

Transition Project for years 5 – 8

by

Y5-8 Continuity

The project aims to improve communication between Key Stages 2

and 3 by taking an aspect of the mathematics curriculum or a

pedagogical approach as the focus for the work.

Teachers from different phases work together collaboratively to

develop a consistent approach to their chosen aspect through discussion,

joint lesson design and delivery, observation and the development of

documentation to support continuity. As a result, channels of communication are established and there is an increased focus on curriculum and pedagogical continuity at key transition points which supports children as they move from KS2 to KS3.

Target Audience

The participants will be a mix of teachers from secondary schools and primary schools, ideally where the schools are linked locally.

Maximum 2 participants per school. 

Event Timings

Day 1 – 13th January (9.30am to 3.00pm)

Day 2 – 27th April (9.30am to 3.00pm)

Day 3 – 15th June (9.30am to 3.00pm)

Booking details and Additional Info:

All sessions will take place at Greenfield Primary School, Hyde

Hello, I have been appointed as a place based Assistant Maths Hub Lead. I will have responsibility for all primary Maths Hub work in Tameside. I will act as the main point of contact for the area, collating and sending out information and signposting schools to Hub work.

I am the Deputy Headteacher at Corrie Primary and Nursery School and therefore locally based and a local link in your area. There will be links on this webpage and a booking form to complete please keep an eye on the website for more information going on soon.

Projects that are happening in Tameside that your school can access for free:

Mastery Readiness

Intervention Programme

I will clarify dates ASAP for now please send in an expression of interest form to my email as the leads need to know we have the schools and then they will set dates. Venue is TBC also once we have numbers but again will be in Tameside if we get enough schools.
