National Numeracy, the UK’s only independent charity focused on improving everyday maths skills, is offering primary schools the opportunity to participate in the Schools & Families Programme. This fully funded initiative aims to tackle low numeracy confidence among pupils, parents/carers, and school staff, with free training and resources.
The Schools & Families Programme aims to:
· Boost pupils’ confidence with numbers, foster positive attitudes towards maths, and highlight its importance beyond the classroom.
· Empower parents, carers, and school staff with the skills and confidence to support children’s learning in maths.
· Create sustainable strategies and approaches that will continue to benefit schools and families long after the programme ends.
National Numeracy is now recruiting primary schools from across the UK to join this initiative, which runs from November 2025 to December 2026. With over 180 places available, including opportunities for primary schools in Northumberland, we encourage schools to apply by as soon as possible.
We are hosting a free webinar on Tuesday 16th September 12.30pm – 1.00pm on Zoom for interested schools to find out more information. Schools can register here.
You can apply here or reach out to schoolsandfamilies@nationalnumeracy.org.uk with any questions. FAQs on the programme can be found here.
