Abstract

We report on work of the Years 5-8 Continuity project, which runs across England in Maths Hubs, led by the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics (NCETM). The aim of this project is to strengthen primary to secondary transition by focusing on curriculum and pedagogical continuity in mathematics over Years 5 to 8. Promotion of cross-phase teacher collaboration is central. The vehicle for teacher development is the Work Group, whereby groups of teachers led by an experienced colleague work collaboratively over a period of time. In 2021-22 a small research team began to explore the impact of this project on teachers’ pedagogical practice and school policy/approaches. We discuss findings from internal evaluation, and from small scale case studies carried out by this team. Early findings indicate that cross-phase engagement with colleagues through focused and sustained professional activity is having a positive impact on practice and school/departmental approaches.
