[senco-forum] Maths in secondary

We have pupils coming at Maths 1c. They are usually in a very small set
with about 8 pupils all working at level 1 and 2c but taught by a maths
teacher, there might also be TA support.  Sometimes though we might take
out a pupil for one to one maths as well/instead of some lessons.

The pupils working at these levels are usually at similar levels for
literacy but some at Level 1 and 2 for English are better as Maths and
may be Level 3.

 We have so many pupils working at Level 3 and below  that they are part
of the norm and have differentiated work and in class support.

Pupils Level 2 in English and below are taught English by English
teachers (small sets) with support but also have some literacy
withdrawal.

I wonder, what is the lowest level in maths that a child entering your
secondary school has been working at. Do the children that are
struggling with reading/literacy have similar problems in maths. In
secondary schools if a child is working at L3 or below are they taken
out in small groups or are there enough pupils at that level to cater
for their needs in a class. Is any support/teaching provided by a
teacher or is all support through a TA.
