Because the study follows children for two academic years (2021/2 and 2022/3), we require that:
- The nominated Reception teacher will teach Reception for both years of the study,
- The nominated Year 1 teacher will teach Year 1 for both years of the study, and
- The majority of the children taught by the nominated Reception teacher will move into the Year 1 class that is taught by the nominated Year 1 teacher.
We are unable to accept applications from schools involved in any other EEF / maths PD research studies involving Reception and / or Year 1 during the study period.
