This one day online conference will examine priorities for the maths curriculum at KS3 and KS4 and its teaching in England.

It will take place with the Government expected to consult on the new national curriculum in maths, and will be an opportunity for delegates to discuss the direction of assessment, classroom practice, and accountability, alongside addressing key concerns such as curriculum overload, assessment pressure and reducing attainment gaps - ahead of the expected publication of the new curriculum in spring 2027.

The agenda considers priorities for the development of a knowledge-rich, sequenced secondary maths curriculum, and how this should sit alongside changes to assessment models, including proposed Year 8 diagnostic checks, and the positioning of financial literacy and functional numeracy, as well as implications for learners retaking GCSE maths or progressing through alternative pathways.

Options for integrating digital skills, AI literacy and cross-subject numeracy expectations within a revised secondary curriculum model will also be considered.
