With the continued drive to raise standards in secondary schools, schools are under constant pressure to meet targets for their percentage of 5 A*-C grades including English and Maths. Enabling pupils to gain a 'C' grade or above in both Maths and English is critical in demonstrating this progress.

There is nothing more frustrating when pupils gain a 'C' grade or above in either Maths or English but not both.

This one day course will offer practical guidance to identify and address key teaching and learning issues in English and Maths, together with strategies for monitoring and effective intervention. Delegates will learn the key 'blockages' to the achievement of both Maths and English GCSEs as well as practical, proven strategies to enable pupils to overcome them.
