• Developing Primary Mathematics -you will learn how to shape a culture of maths across your Primary setting and develop a deep understanding of how pupils learn mathematics becoming skilled in leading staff to develop pupils interconnected understanding of concepts, their procedural fluency and automaticity in key number facts.
• Teaching - you will learn how to support teachers at all levels in your school, key stage or phase to develop their knowledge and classroom skills in teaching primary mathematics.
• School culture - you will strengthen your ability and that of your colleagues to contribute to a school culture in which pupils can thrive and succeed and have a positive attitude towards mathematics. 
• How pupils learn - you will deepen your knowledge of the best ways to develop, adapt, embed and practice good models of learning across the whole school community, key stage or phase. 
• Subject and curriculum - you will learn how to support and improve high quality lesson design, teaching, learning and assessment in primary mathematics. 
• Professional Development - you will deepen your knowledge of the best ways to provide effective professional development in mathematics curriculum, pedagogy and assessment across the whole school community. 
• Implementation - you will learn how to implement change successfully within your context by understanding the stages of implementation and applying them with the support of your facilitators and colleagues.

Primary school teachers and leaders who currently lead or aspire to lead mathematics across a year group, key stage, phase or whole school.

For numeracy specialists, maths subject leaders and those with a secure understanding of mastery approaches to teaching maths.

For teachers who wish to develop the skills, confidence and knowledge to implement a detailed and coherent mathematics curriculum successfully through a supported implementation project.

Our participants have noted many benefits to studying for an NPQ. Overall, they outline how the programme has given them professional confidence, time and space to reflect on themselves about the kind of leader they want to become and increased knowledge in their chosen area of study. 

You will be able to:

• Develop the skills, confidence and knowledge to implement a detailed and coherent mathematics curriculum successfully through a supported implementation project.
• Develop the skills to implement meaningful interventions as part of a whole school, phase or key stage mathematics approach.
• Learn how to help pupils develop ways to improve their automaticity, fluency and problem solving skills developing confidence that transpires into academic progress.
• Learn practical approaches to develop pupils’ logical thinking and reasoning skills in your school context.
• Recognise the key elements of pupils’ mathematical learning trajectories from Reception to Key Stage 2.
• Access research and materials and have many opportunities to discuss mathematical approaches and the mastery model with other teachers.

We know that our children and young people need teachers who are committed to their education and are confident learners themselves. Our NPQ programmes have been developed with teachers and leaders to:

• Create professionally confident teachers and leaders.
• Grow the next generation of leaders with the skills and knowledge to use the evidence-base for the benefit of their children and young people.
• Retain the best teachers who are excellent, collaborative role models for their schools and communities.
• Inspire leaders who can harness the power of rich learning environments for their children and young people no matter the current circumstances.
