NPQLPM (Leading Primary Mathematics)

What is the National Professional Qualification for Leading Primary Mathematics (NPQLPM)?

The NPQ Leading Primary Maths is the newest programme released by the DfE. The programme is designed to support teachers with learning how to use mastery approaches to teach maths effectively in the classroom.

 

NPQLPM is designed 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
• Subject leaders in a school already engaged in the primary Teaching for Mastery programme or similar programme example
