School Support
We will work with you to develop a personalised package of support for your school.
We will look at the opportunity to enhance this further by working alongside other schools in your area, cluster or Multi Academy Trust. To ensure the package is customised to your needs, we offer a free consultation with your Senior Leadership Team. Through effective communication and a flexible approach, we will adapt the package if necessary to meet the changing needs of your school.
Examples of in-person support
- Development of an effective mathematics curriculum
- Planning units of work – achieving mastery and greater depth
- Team teaching
- Lesson Study
- Developing effective interventions and use of teaching assistants
- Staff meetings
- Using the bar model to support and deepen understanding
- Guided Reasoning – reasoning at mastery and greater depth
- Progression in calculation
- Challenging all children
- Creative mathematics
- Cross-curricular mathematics
- Assessment for Learning

Cluster/Trust Support
The topics above can be delivered to groups of schools which can enable training to be tailored to specific year groups e.g. Developing Reasoning in Year 3. In addition, we can create programmes of support bespoke to your cluster e.g. moderation, assessment, effective subject leadership.

“First4Maths have worked with the school for 18 months. Toni and the team have supported the teachers in analysing strengths and weaknesses in their classes, and have helped them to plan next steps for all children. The impact of this has been huge – staff are much more confident in delivering well structured, appropriately challenging lessons for all learners. Over time, the impact has been twofold. Firstly we have seen a real rise in standards, both through work scrutiny and through end of year assessments. Secondly, teachers have become much more confident in planning and delivering the content of the curriculum, which has had a big impact on staff morale and well being. Toni has also supported our Maths leads in scrutinising books, coaching staff and analysing and planning areas for development in the school. First4Maths consultants have always been friendly and supportive for all staff, establishing a professional yet friendly rapport quickly. I cannot recommend their support highly enough.”
