13 October 2026 - 13 October 202614:00 - 17:00Online£0.00The Higher Level Maths Achievement Programme is a pilot programme for schools to help them support students to secure top grades at GCSE Maths and progress to study maths at Level 3. Compared with their peers, a far lower proportion of students from disadvantaged backgrounds who do well in maths at KS2 go on to secure grades 7-9 at GCSE. This new programme will provide teacher professional development and school support alongside student-facing activities designed to increase the proportion of students from disadvantaged backgrounds achieving high grades in GCSE Maths and progressing to Level 3 maths.
Across England, 400 secondary schools – on average 10 in each Maths Hub area – will be able to take part. Eligible schools will have a higher-than-average proportion of students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

This programme is for teaching assistants who work predominantly with students in the KS3 maths classroom or who lead intervention sessions with groups of students. Participants' schools should already be engaged with a Teaching for Mastery Work Group, and this programme will complement that provision.
What is involved?
This programme is designed to improve the subject knowledge and pedagogical knowledge of all teaching assistants supporting the learning of secondary maths.
Participants will focus on using precise mathematical language, representations and reasoning within the topics: addition and subtraction; multiplication and division; fractions; ratios and proportion. They will also carry out follow-up tasks in school to enable practice transfer to the classroom. The programme will take place over the equivalent of the four days; participants must attend all sessions.
What will you learn?
- Your students will demonstrate a positive attitude towards the learning of maths
- You will use appropriate mathematical language and representations with confidence
- You will develop your understanding of how to adapt resources to meet students' needs
- You will develop an understanding of how algebra relates to the generalisation of number

As part of the Best Start in Life strategy, 2026/27 sees the SKTM (Reception teachers and accompanying Teaching Assistants) Programme replace the previous SKTM for Early Years. This programme will bring together the previous two pathways for Number and Spatial Reasoning in a one-year programme.
Who can take part?
This programme is for Reception teachers who would like to develop their specialist knowledge for teaching maths. It would be particularly valuable for a Reception teacher and their teaching assistant colleague to attend the programme together.
What you need to know:
This one-year programme will include number, shape, space and pattern. Participants will also explore how children’s learning in all these areas can be supported through the development of oracy, spatial reasoning, and executive function.
The programme consists of five days of facilitated learning: hub-led core sessions (the equivalent of four days); and NCETM-led asynchronous modules (the equivalent of one day).
Participants must attend the hub-led days, and reflect on learning and notice the impact of the changes in their practice on their pupils between these days. They will also complete a module between each hub-led day.
What is involved?
This one-year programme supports Reception teachers to develop specialist knowledge for teaching maths, and use a teaching for mastery approach as exemplified in the NCETM’s The Essence of Mathematics Teaching for Mastery.
It will enable participants to explore number, shape, space and pattern. Reception teachers (and teaching assistants) will also explore how children’s learning in all these areas can be supported through the development of oracy, spatial reasoning and executive function.
Participants will attend four days of workshops, and complete four short online asynchronous modules between workshops, totalling the equivalent of one day.
What will you learn?
- Your pupils will be able to communicate their maths and mathematical thinking
- You will explore and increase your use of a range of pedagogic approaches that will support pupils in engaging with and developing their maths
- You will understand how maths opportunities can be developed across all areas and in everyday routines

Higher Level Maths Achievement Programme
Secondary
- • 16 March 2027
- • 30 places remaining
16 March 2027 - 16 March 202714:00 - 17:00Online£0.00The Higher Level Maths Achievement Programme is a pilot programme for schools to help them support students to secure top grades at GCSE Maths and progress to study maths at Level 3. Compared with their peers, a far lower proportion of students from disadvantaged backgrounds who do well in maths at KS2 go on to secure grades 7-9 at GCSE. This new programme will provide teacher professional development and school support alongside student-facing activities designed to increase the proportion of students from disadvantaged backgrounds achieving high grades in GCSE Maths and progressing to Level 3 maths.
Across England, 400 secondary schools – on average 10 in each Maths Hub area – will be able to take part. Eligible schools will have a higher-than-average proportion of students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

This programme is for Reception teachers who would like to develop their specialist knowledge for teaching maths. It would be particularly valuable for a Reception teacher and their teaching assistant colleague to attend the programme together.
What you need to know:
This one-year programme will include number, shape, space and pattern. Participants will also explore how children’s learning in all these areas can be supported through the development of oracy, spatial reasoning, and executive function.
The programme consists of five days of facilitated learning: hub-led core sessions (the equivalent of four days); and NCETM-led asynchronous modules (the equivalent of one day).
Participants must attend the hub-led days, and reflect on learning and notice the impact of the changes in their practice on their pupils between these days. They will also complete a module between each hub-led day.
What is involved?
This one-year programme supports Reception teachers to develop specialist knowledge for teaching maths, and use a teaching for mastery approach as exemplified in the NCETM’s The Essence of Mathematics Teaching for Mastery.
It will enable participants to explore number, shape, space and pattern. Reception teachers (and teaching assistants) will also explore how children’s learning in all these areas can be supported through the development of oracy, spatial reasoning and executive function.
Participants will attend four days of workshops, and complete four short online asynchronous modules between workshops, totalling the equivalent of one day.
What will you learn?
- Your pupils will be able to communicate their maths and mathematical thinking
- You will explore and increase your use of a range of pedagogic approaches that will support pupils in engaging with and developing their maths
- You will understand how maths opportunities can be developed across all areas and in everyday routines

22 June 2027 - 22 June 202714:00 - 17:00Online£0.00The Higher Level Maths Achievement Programme is a pilot programme for schools to help them support students to secure top grades at GCSE Maths and progress to study maths at Level 3. Compared with their peers, a far lower proportion of students from disadvantaged backgrounds who do well in maths at KS2 go on to secure grades 7-9 at GCSE. This new programme will provide teacher professional development and school support alongside student-facing activities designed to increase the proportion of students from disadvantaged backgrounds achieving high grades in GCSE Maths and progressing to Level 3 maths.
Across England, 400 secondary schools – on average 10 in each Maths Hub area – will be able to take part. Eligible schools will have a higher-than-average proportion of students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
