Schools & Families Programme
National Numeracy have launched a new Schools & Families programme, supporting primary schools across the UK.
The programme works with primary schools to support families, so that pupils feel more positive about maths, and have greater awareness of the value of numeracy outside the classroom. We also work with schools to increase parents’, carers’ and school staff’s own confidence with numbers, aiming to establish lasting approaches and strategies which can continue in the years following the programme.
Each participating school receives a free package of support across a full year including:
- Numeracy Champion CPD training for up to three members of staff
- Family Maths activities and scrapbooks for all pupils
- Parental engagement webinar and related resources
- Materials to deliver ‘Help Your Child Love Maths!’ parent workshops
- Access to the National Numeracy Challenge for all staff and parents
- Termly online Forums to share successes and challenges with National Numeracy and other schools
- Participation in National Numeracy’s two main annual campaigns: National Numeracy Day and Number Confidence Week
- Materials to communicate with parents about the programme
- Access to an online resource hub
- Ongoing support from National Numeracy during the programme
- At the end of the programme, a report summarising engagement and impact
Participating schools are also invited to participate in additional activities including:
- Termly webinars on a range of subjects
- Termly National Numeracy Schools newsletter
- Where available, assemblies and lessons from our Corporate Volunteers
If you are a school interested in participating:
The programme is open to primary schools across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and we are regularly recruiting schools.

All schools are welcome to apply. We prioritise inclusion based on each school’s level of free school meals.
If you are interested in supporting this programme:
Our work wouldn’t be possible without the generous support of our partners. Your support will enable us to work with schools to make a real difference to the lives of staff, parents, carers and the children who they support.
