Using Power Maths flexibly in KS1
This blog provides some tips for KS1 teachers, although a lot of the ideas can be applied throughout Y1-6.
Helping you navigate GCSE and A level reform with confidence
Curriculum reform is creating significant change across GCSEs and A levels. Following the publication of the Curriculum and Assessment Review, schools need clarity on what’s changing, what it means for students and how to plan with confidence. We’re here to help you navigate that change.
Why partner with Pearson during GCSE and A level reform?
As reform evolves, we’re committed to giving you more than reassurance. We’ll provide clear, practical support you can act on—and qualifications designed to help students progress with confidence. You can expect to have:
- Confidence – trusted qualifications and assessment that support student progression.
- Clarity – straightforward guidance and practical support to help schools plan ahead.
- Coherence – a joined-up approach from Key Stage 3 through to post-16.
- Relevance – qualifications designed around the knowledge, skills and experiences students need for the future.
So you can move forward with confidence, and support every student to succeed, progress and prepare for their future.
Our approach: Student-centred qualifications
At Pearson, we see reform as an opportunity to develop qualifications that are relevant, empowering and fair, helping every student build confidence, make progress and prepare for what comes next. Alongside teachers, we’ve developed these guiding principles to underpin our new, reformed qualifications.
Relevant
Qualifications that connect learning to the real world and reflect the students in your classroom, with inclusive content, meaningful contexts and the right balance of knowledge and skills.
Empowering
Qualifications that build confidence, deepen understanding and support every student’s potential—helping them grow in capability as well as achievement.
Fair
Qualifications that work for all students—and for you—with clear assessment, accessible design and support that helps reduce unnecessary workload.

The authentic voice of real-life experience from leading school librarian Eileen Armstrong, with whom I collaborated to produce the government-backed ‘Boys into Books’ initiative back in 2007. Is the issue of boys’ reading still ‘a thing’, 14 years on?
