This course will support teachers in identifying the foundational knowledge in both English and maths. It will provide a model of progression for the six-term journey across KS1 and demonstrate how this leads to mastery of the National Curriculum in English and maths at the end of Y2.   

English: 

·       Teachers understand the key building blocks to reading and writing in Key Stage 1. 

·       Teachers develop a secure progression of these to inform teaching. 

·       Teachers will revise existing long-term plans to reflect this progression. 

·       Teachers will develop their understanding of how to use formative assessment effectively to shape teaching and learning so that planning is adapted to support progress for all. 

Maths: 

·       Teachers understand the progression of skills across Key Stage 1. 

·       Teachers understand the number facts that need to be secured and be provided with strategies on how to teach number facts. 

·       Teachers understand how to develop and teach all three aims of the National Curriculum. 

·       Teachers will understand how to develop questioning and task design with a focus on ensuring good progress is made. 

·       Teachers will be supported to adapt planning informed by assessment.
