Effective support in Year 6

Secure expectations. Targeted teaching. Strong outcomes.

This CPD session supports Year 6 teachers to navigate the demands of end-of-Key-Stage-2 assessments with confidence. It focuses on developing secure understanding of expectations in reading, writing and mathematics, alongside practical strategies to support pupil progress.

The session emphasises high-quality assessment for learning and responsive, next-step teaching, ensuring pupils are well prepared for statutory assessments while continuing to experience a broad and balanced curriculum.

Participants will explore how to:

• Interpret end-of-key-stage expectations in reading, writing and mathematics

• Use assessment effectively to identify gaps and inform next steps

• Deliver targeted teaching that supports progress for all pupils

• Maintain curriculum breadth while preparing pupils for statutory tests

Through practical guidance and classroom-focused strategies, teachers will be equipped to strengthen outcomes while supporting pupils to approach end-of-year assessments with confidence.
