Ensuring the best possible start to Year 6
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 SATs success
Lessons plug gaps and help pupils catch up before moving onto revision in spring.
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. For small groups up to 15 pupils can receive a one to one lesson at once. For larger groups we recommend choosing two or more timeslots.
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.

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 Learning provides targeted support for the children which is personalised to their own level and helps them to make progress and achieve Age Related Expectations.

Third Space fills in little gaps that can really hold children back. The customer service is fantastic every time and they couldn't be more helpful. The children love doing Third Space and their confidence rockets!

The resources on the Maths Hub are great, the sessions for the children are good and they enjoy them. The one to one sessions have been very good and have helped the children to progress with their maths.

My staff love the resources and are helpful to their teaching and assessment. Most importantly, the impact upon learning for the pupils receiving the one to one lessons is highly effective. It’s such great support to teaching and learning.

Children are thoroughly enjoying their sessions and the resources we have access to are great. I have already recommended the intervention to a friend teaching at another school.
