Free numeracy programme to boost parental engagement and attainment for primary schools in Derbyshire
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 170 places available, including opportunities for primary schools in Derbyshire, schools are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.
