The teaching methods are similar to those used by all Orrets Meadow teachers i.e. multisensory, structured and cumulative with opportunities for regular revision and over-learning.  Outreach Teachers aim to provide homework activities for their pupils and develop good links with parents/carers and school colleagues.

From Sept 2016 to July 2019, pupils on Outreach Maths made average progress of 15 months in Number age.  

The team also provide Inset/training in a number of areas including numeracy difficulties, dyscalculia and T.A. training.

This is a traded service.  For further details about Orrets Meadow Outreach Specialist Services
