Title: Maths Past Papers And Other Support For Children With Additional Needs
1Maths Past Papers And Other Support For Children
With Additional Needs
Underneath all the funding crises in education
lays the necessities of children with additional
needs. How will the latest investment support
them, particularly during exams, with regards to
the maths past papers they need?
2The Government announced a 215 million funding
boost for children with SEND (special educational
needs and disabilities). How far will it go and
what difference will it make to the educational
and exam outcomes, including the GCSE maths exam
papers, of these children? Every local council is
allocated a minimum of 500,000 to expand their
SEND provision.
3The question is how will this money help, and how
will councils allocate it. With the exam session
upon us, many face the stress and workloads that
come with the exams, including KS2 maths papers.
If the money doesnt translate into real and
tangible support for children with SEND, then
whats its point? Parents are already turning to
maths past GCSE papers, for exam support.
4Parents should discuss their childs specific
needs with school SEND coordinators to ensure
that their maths past papers come from reputable
sources. However, its also important that all
involved in the education of SEND children
monitor how and where this additional funding is
spent.
