About the Event
WHAT IS INVOLVED?
Two teachers from each participating school join a Work Group, consisting of six or seven local primary schools. Each Work Group is led by a trained Primary Mastery Specialist. Work Groups meet regularly to plan, observe and discuss teaching for mastery.
Support is provided from a local classroom-based Mastery Specialist who leads the group. This model of professional development involves hands-on learning and peer-to-peer support. It is evidence-based and designed to support substantial long-term change.
Lots of schools are ready to start their mastery journey, and some would benefit from initial support before becoming part of the full programme. The diagram shows a school's journey towards mastery.

After applying, our leadership team will be in touch to discuss which programme is best suited to your school.
WHO CAN TAKE PART?
This programme is for state-funded primary schools in England. Two teachers from each participant school will attend six half-day meetings during the school year, and lead teaching for mastery development in their own school.
WHAT IS THE COST?
Both the Primary Mastery Readiness programme and the Primary Teaching for Mastery Development programme are fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme so are free to participating schools.
