Description

Catch up with NUMERACY is specifically for Year 7 students who have not achieved level 4.

The workshop can be booked any time during Year 7 – or indeed as a summer school transition course - for groups of up to 30 students in a classroom or venue of your choice.

Importantly funding for this programme is available through the ‘Year 7 Catch Up Premium’.

Benefits

Building on the momentum created in your school, Catch up with NUMERACY allows students to experience different techniques and discover new ways of achieving maths targets they previously believed to be beyond them.
