English and maths intervention training

The English and Maths Team can provide training to teachers and teaching assistants on several research informed maths and writing interventions.

Each of the courses include interactive and easily adaptable session plans, extensive ready-made resources that are organised topic by topic, online guidance and downloadable resources. The courses include sessions for teachers and teaching assistants.

All the following small-group interventions have been designed by Every Child Counts for Edge Hill University:

Maths Interventions

  • Becoming First Class @ Number - for children, usually in Year 1, who need further support to secure the Early Learning Goal for Number.
  • First Class @ Number 1 - for children, usually in Year 2, who need further support at the level of the Year 1 curriculum.
  • First Class @ Number 2 - for children, usually in Year 3, who need further support at the level of the Year 2 curriculum.
  • Success @ Arithmetic Number Sense - for children, usually in Years 3 to 5, who need support to understand the number system and develop fluency with number facts. It helps them to make faster progress and to catch up with their peers through a mastery approach.

Writing Interventions

  • 1st Class@ Writing - Pirate Writing Crew – is for pupils who need support to consolidate Year 3 writing expectations
