Mathematics Survey Visits

This resource from Ofsted contains generic grade descriptors and supplementary subject-specific guidance in mathematics, drawn from the leadership and management section of the evaluation schedule for the inspection of schools and academies, January 2012. It is intended only to inform the judgements made by specialist inspectors carrying out subject survey visits and not for use on Section 5 whole-school inspections. Feedback letters normally contain separate judgements on:

*Achievement of pupils in mathematics
*The quality of teaching in mathematics
*The curriculum in mathematics
*Quality of leadership and management of mathematics
*The overall effectiveness of mathematics

These descriptors should be applied in a way which is appropriate to the age of the students involved.
