During the open morning, you will have the chance to hear how Teaching for Mastery is implemented and sustained across a school.

The school leaders at Longford Park will be on hand to talk about how they work in partnership with the Maths Hub to implement, embed and sustain the approach and create a culture of high expectations for all children. You will hear how the school uses regular professional development and opportunities for collaboration to support and develop staff with subject and pedagogical knowledge in maths.

We look forward to welcoming you, hearing about your schools and answering your questions. If you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Submit your application now to join the Teaching for Mastery Development project in 2024/25

Every year, the Maths Hub looks to engage schools that have not yet begun the Teaching for Mastery journey in the project, and we are delighted to announce that applications have now opened to take part in 2024/25.

The Teaching for Mastery Programme is a professional development opportunity designed to support teachers in state-funded schools to develop best practice in maths in your school. It is suitable for schools interested in implementing a teaching for mastery approach to maths. Mastering maths means pupils of all ages acquiring a deep, long-term, secure and adaptable understanding of the subject. The phrase ‘teaching for mastery’ describes the elements of classroom practice and school organisation that combine to give pupils the best chances of mastering maths. Achieving mastery means acquiring a solid enough understanding of the maths that’s been taught to enable pupils to move on to more advanced material. There is a wealth of information about Mastery on the NCETM website.

To find out more about how your school can get involved in this fully funded project in 2024/25, head to the relevant page on our website using the links below:
