Revised for 2026/27
This programme will support maths leads to understand how to embed effective practice in Reception and into Key Stage 1, to ensure all pupils have the best start in life.
What is involved?
The maths lead will receive support to make Mastering Number a permanent element of the school curriculum. They will receive national and local professional development whilst being part of an online community. Access to all teaching materials for Reception to Year 3, recordings of central sessions, and sample teaching videos will be available.
Who can take part?
This community is open to all schools involved in Mastering Number at Reception and KS1 in 2025/26, that are also part of a 2026/27 Teaching for Mastery Work Group, or who have formally expressed interest in engaging in one in the future.
