Ensuring a better start to KS3
A KS3 maths intervention programme to help plug gaps from KS2 and ease the transition to Year 7
We used the programme for pupils that lacked the basic skills from primary that they needed to access the KS3 maths curriculum. Compared with their SATs results our Year 7s have made very good progress!

What’s included?
Weekly online one-to-one maths lessons for your target Year 7 pupils
Regular assessment and reporting
Free headset for each pupil
Tailored for target pupils
You choose which Year 7 pupils need additional support to succeed in secondary school.
I really like the way that the intervention can be tailored to support the needs of the individual and that the students are moved through the lesson at a pace that suits them.
Built for long-term success
Lessons focus on reviewing and consolidating Key Stage 2 content before moving onto the Key Stage 3 national curriculum.
The impact upon learning for specific groups of pupils is highly effective. Third Space Learning is such a great support to teaching and learning!
Personalised for each pupil
The catch up programme of lessons for each student is chosen to plug their specific knowledge gaps.
Great price, for a great service and fully engaged and committed children who not only love the personalised nature of the sessions, but also make clear progress.
Designed to ease transitions
Pupils feel confident working through questions with their own dedicated tutor in a low stakes environment.
Pupils enjoy working with their tutors - they describe them as lovely, friendly and helpful. The content of the sessions is appropriate and fits with the scheme of work we use in lessons.

Pupil and time slot selection
You decide which pupils to support 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 session.
Weekly lessons
Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom and pupils communicate with their personal tutor via a shared screen and headset. We'll send out headsets free of charge before your first session.
Regular reporting
You’re kept up to date with topics covered and progress made each week. Longer term progress is mapped over the term. As well as showing how your pupils are progressing, we also report on engagement and attitude.
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.
