A new NFER study, funded by @EducEndowFoundn, highlights the impact of partial #school closures on pupils' attainment in reading and maths at #KS1. #UKEdChat 
The study, which explored any changes in attainment during the 20/21 academic year, found that pupils were behind their pre-pandemic peers in reading and maths attainment each term, except for year 2 pupils in mathematics in summer 2021.
The areas that children in both year groups found difficult included making inferences from complex texts and multiplication and division questions. To support recovery, schools were using small group work in reading and maths, and had a notable focus on wellbeing and PSHE.
The attainment and disadvantage gaps found in this study will require targeted and continued support to reduce, as these children continue into their next years of learning.
For the full story from the research, visit bit.ly/3deM1Cm - Alternatively, head to bit.ly/3rBxitJ for all of the key findings or bit.ly/3lwOBbr for the final report.
We will also be sharing the potential implications for classroom practice on @NFERClassroom over the coming weeks.
