NPQ Leading Primary Mathematics (NPQLPM)

This NPQ is for:

• Teachers and leaders with responsibility for leading maths across a primary key-stage or school, or those who want to have this responsibility.
• Teachers familiar with mastery approaches to teaching primary maths, who want to improve leadership skills in this area.

• Developing Primary Mathematics -you will learn how to shape a culture of maths across your Primary setting and develop a deep understanding of how pupils learn mathematics becoming skilled in leading staff to develop pupils interconnected understanding of concepts, their procedural fluency and automaticity in key number facts.
• Teaching – you will learn how to support teachers at all levels in your school, key stage or phase to develop their knowledge and classroom skills in teaching primary mathematics.
• School culture – you will strengthen your ability and that of your colleagues to contribute to a school culture in which pupils can thrive and succeed and have a positive attitude towards mathematics. 
• How pupils learn – you will deepen your knowledge of the best ways to develop, adapt, embed and practice good models of learning across the whole school community, key stage or phase. 
• Subject and curriculum – you will learn how to support and improve high quality lesson design, teaching, learning and assessment in primary mathematics. 
• Professional Development – you will deepen your knowledge of the best ways to provide effective professional development in mathematics curriculum, pedagogy and assessment across the whole school community. 
• Implementation – you will learn how to implement change successfully within your context by understanding the stages of implementation and applying them with the support of your facilitators and colleagues.

You will be able to:

• Develop the skills, confidence and knowledge to implement a detailed and coherent mathematics curriculum successfully through a supported implementation project.
• Develop the skills to implement meaningful interventions as part of a whole school, phase or key stage mathematics approach.
• Learn how to help pupils develop ways to improve their automaticity, fluency and problem solving skills developing confidence that transpires into academic progress.
• Learn practical approaches to develop pupils’ logical thinking and reasoning skills in your school context.
• Recognise the key elements of pupils’ mathematical learning trajectories from Reception to Key Stage 2.
• Access research and materials and have many opportunities to discuss mathematical approaches and the mastery model with other teachers.

Delegates will also receive:

• Attainment of the National Professional Qualification for Leading Literacy – NPQLPM
• Internationally recognised qualification
