We have developed this Work Group following independent priority requests from Telford and Wolverhampton LAs to support further development of EAL and maths. It will support all children in classes with a high proportion of EAL pupils to develop deep knowledge, understanding and confidence to be well prepared for the secondary mathematics curriculum.
A participant from last year:
“A massive thank you to Qamar and Sandeep for their investment in the EAL and Maths Work Group with SHaW Maths Hub – it has had an impact!
Attainment for children with English as an additional language in Mathematics has significantly improved this year and now exceeds the national average attainment.”
