Primary Teaching for Mastery Work Group 2026/27

This is for primary schools who have previously taken part in a  Teaching for Mastery Work Group and want to continue to deepen and embed their approach. 

Who can take part?

This Work Group is intended for all schools who have previously participated in a Teaching for Mastery Work Group. The year begins with an online meeting with each school, to share current context and discuss priorities, allowing a bespoke approach to meeting professional development needs.  All schools in this Work Group will continue to work alongside other schools to embed and refine teaching for mastery approaches in their school to benefit all pupils.
 

What is the cost?

This is funded by the Maths Hubs Programme; there is no charge for participating schools. 

Are you interested in Mastering Number at Reception and KS1 or Mastering Number at KS2?  Engaging with either Mastering Number will complement work as part of a Primary Teaching for Mastery Work Group.

What this programme offers 

This Work Group will develop your understanding and leadership practice through collaboration with others and engaging in core activities such as observing and discussing live maths lessons. The Work Groups will have an average of 12 schools as members, and will involve leaders and teachers working together over time.

Expectations

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 maximize impact on pupils.

These Work Groups are ongoing and schools participate year on year to strive towards improved pupil outcomes through embedding teaching for mastery principles.

 

NB: If your school is new to Teaching for Mastery then this is NOT the right Work Group for you. Please look to apply for the Teaching for Mastery Introductory  Programme.
