Plugging gaps and boosting progress
One to one support to help your Year 6 pupils catch up in maths and prepare for the challenges ahead
The best thing has been the increase in confidence, their ability to explain their answers and the fact that their tutors are always there to deal with misunderstandings straight away!

What’s included?
Weekly online one to one maths lessons for your target Year 6 pupils
Regular assessment and reporting
Free headset for each pupil
Full access to all resources and video CPD in the Third Space Maths Hub
Tailored for target pupils
You choose which Year 6 pupils you’d like to support with additional one to one catch up maths teaching.
We use Third Space Learning for pupils on Pupil Premium and for others who lacked the confidence to be able to meet Year 6 expectations. The lessons have helped these pupils develop their skills not just in the week-to-week topics they covered, but across maths as a whole.
Built for KS2 success
Lessons plug gaps and help pupils secure core KS2 content before moving onto consolidation.
After two terms of one to one support, not only did they reach the expected standard but they doubled their scores in SATs!
Personalised for each pupil
Lessons are chosen to plug individual knowledge gaps across the KS2 curriculum.
The children really valued the opportunity to work at their own pace and all 8 children who had the personalised sessions achieved age related expectations in SATs.
Designed to build key skills
Tutors encourage pupils to justify their answers and verbalise their reasoning.
The fact that children have to speak with their tutor and explain their reasoning helps to develop confidence and their use of mathematical vocabulary.

Pupil and time slot selection
You decide which pupils to sign up to the catch up intervention programme and choose a weekly time slot. Lessons can take place from school or home, depending on your chosen pupils.
Diagnostic assessment
Each pupil begins with an initial assessment to diagnose their individual learning gaps and identify the best sequence of maths lessons for each pupil. This can be done at any point before their first individual session.
Weekly lessons
Senior leaders and class teachers are kept up to date with the Key Stage 2 national curriculum topics covered and progress made each week. Longer term progress is mapped over the term, year and end of Key Stage.
Regular reporting
Senior leaders and class teachers are kept up to date with the Key Stage 2 national curriculum topics covered and progress made each week. Longer term progress is mapped over the term, year and end of Key Stage.
Whole school resources
Unlimited access to all Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 resources is included at no additional cost. This means you can target spending on individual pupils whilst still raising maths attainment for every child in your school.
Third Space allowed our Year 6s to not only reach the expected standard but to gain a love and interest for maths. The positive difference that Third Space made was obvious within the classroom and in our pupils' much improved assessment results.
The SATs Revision programme has been fantastic for our Year 6 pupils. In particular, the reasoning questions have been great, and the fact that the questions that come up are really similar to the ones that crop up in SATs papers has worked well for us.
Our results in KS2 are up by 30% this year and teachers have identified Third Space as one of the things that has made a real difference.
We started with 16 pupils in Year 6, in order to improve their confidence before the SATs tests. In many cases it definitely helped them to perform even better than we were expecting. We could see that their confidence in approaching the papers was hugely improved, having seen lots of similar questions before in Third Space.
I had 8 children using the intervention, 7 of whom were working below the expected standard. All of those 7 met the expected standard, with the one pupil that we were hoping could achieve greater depth also achieved greater depth! So, what we had targeted absolutely worked, and I would say that doing the intervention was fundamental to that.
We first used Third Space specifically for our Year 6 children because of the SATs focus. It’s so clear in front of them and you can see it all starts to fall into place. It just clicks. You can physically see the progress children are making in terms of confidence and engagement. You can really see a shift in their whole attitude towards learning.
The individual sessions could be targeted specifically for each pupil, which is excellent and the follow-up reports were very helpful to determine future planning.
The SATs results for our pupil premium children have historically been very low, and we were really looking for something that could fill a gap. With Third Space, our maths progress has improved a lot, and we’ve gone from 40% ARE to 70% ARE this year!
