Coordinating mathematical success: the mathematics subject report
Ofsted’s ‘Coordinating mathematical success: the mathematics subject report’, published July 2023, evaluates the common strengths and weaknesses of mathematics and considers the challenges that mathematics education faces. The evidence was gathered by His Majesty’s Inspectors as part of routine Ofsted inspections and draws on findings from 50 research visits to schools in England between September 2021 and November 2022. The report is split into findings in primary schools and those in secondary schools and includes evidence from reception classes and sixth forms. Within each of these sections, the report talks about:
- aspects of the curriculum
- pedagogy
- assessment
- the way schools are organised
- the impact of this on what pupils learn
Various criteria were monitored consistently to identify characteristics for the sample that risked being underrepresented. These criteria were: region, inspection outcome, disadvantage quintile, size of school, and a rural or urban location. Ofsted looked to ensure that the sample was broadly representative of the national picture and there was some representation from schools with different characteristics.
The report includes a range of findings, a discussion of the findings and recommendations for both primary and secondary schools.
