This document discusses the importance of numeracy across the curriculum according to Ofsted guidelines. It notes that Ofsted evaluates how well schools develop students' skills in reading, writing, communication, and mathematics in all lessons. The document provides examples of how different subject lessons could incorporate numeracy, such as using statistics in history, measurements in food tech, and time calculations in PE. It emphasizes that numeracy is essential for students' success and impacts all subjects.

1. NUMERACY ACROSS
THE CURRICULUM

2. NUMERACY ACROSS THE CURRICULUM
• Ofsted holistic view – “When evaluating the
quality of teaching in the school, inspectors
must consider: how well teaching enables
pupils to develop skills in reading, writing,
communication and mathematics.”

3. NUMERACY ACROSS THE CURRICULUM
• Ofsted want to see literacy and numeracy evident across the
board: whatever the lesson and whatever the teacher’s area
of expertise. The framework emphasises the importance of
creating opportunities to practice literacy and numeracy skills
within all areas of the curriculum. When you think about it, it
makes sense: at the heart of everything is literacy and/or
numeracy, and they’re essential for helping an individual to
succeed in life.
