This programme is for primary schools in England that have previously participated in a Development, Embedding or Sustaining Work Group. This Work Group is ongoing and schools participate year on year to strive towards improved pupil outcomes through fidelity to teaching for mastery. Each participating school will nominate staff to engage in the Work Group, and leaders should support them to lead developments across the school. ### What is involved? This programme is for primary schools that have previously taken part in a Teaching for Mastery Work Group and want to continue to deepen and embed their approach. Each school will continue working with a small group of local schools, supported by a Mastery Specialist. Across the year, participants will collaborate to explore effective leadership, observe live teaching for mastery, implement aspects such as lesson design, and refine systems to maximise pupil impact. Participants will work closely with their senior leaders to focus on key areas of curriculum development and professional learning. There will also be opportunities to explore implementation strategies focused on particular aspects such as oracy and mixed-age. ### What will you learn? - You will develop a consistent, whole-school approach to teaching for mastery - You will support pupils to meet age-related expectations and develop a deeper understanding of key mathematical ideas - You will collaborate with other schools to share practice and refine approaches - You will strengthen teaching and subject leadership across your school, including sustainable professional development ### What is the cost? The Primary Teaching for Mastery project is **fully funded** by the Maths Hubs Programme so is **free** to participating schools.
