Mastering Number (Embedding the Impact) Community

Project Code: NCP26-07b

Support for schools that have already engaged in Mastering Number at Reception and KS1.

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 have formally expressed interest in engaging in one in the future.

It is also open to schools that participated in Mastering Number at Reception and KS1 in previous years, provided they have not yet engaged with this community.

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.

What will you learn?

1. Your pupils will show confidence in exploring additive relationships.

2. Your pupils will make good progress towards the Early Learning Goals and year group expectations.

3. You will work with colleagues in your school or locally to better understand how the Mastering Number resources can enhance teaching.

4. You and your school leaders will build on your involvement to embed and sustain practice in future years.  

What is the cost?

The community is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme, so is free to participating schools.
