Reception is a vital foundation year that sets children up for success throughout primary school and beyond.

We are making sure schools have access to the right tools and tailored improvement, including helping every parent to play their part and be confident in their child’s progress.

### Maths hubs

[Maths hubs](https://www.ncetm.org.uk/maths-hubs/what-maths-hubs-are-doing/) offer a range of support to all state funded schools and colleges in England to improve the teaching of mathematics. The offers specific to reception are:

- [Specialist Knowledge for Teaching Mathematics: Early Years Programme](https://www.ncetm.org.uk/maths-hubs-projects/specialist-knowledge-for-teaching-mathematics-early-years-teachers/) – designed to strengthen the knowledge and practice of all practitioners teaching and supporting the learning of early maths in number and spatial reasoning pathways
- [Mastering Number at Reception and KS1](https://www.ncetm.org.uk/maths-hubs-projects/mastering-number-at-reception-and-ks1/) – aims to secure firm foundations in the development of good number sense for all children from reception through to year 1 and year 2
- [Intensive support](https://www.ncetm.org.uk/maths-hubs-projects/targeted-support-in-mathematics-intensive/) – one-to-one support from an intensive support partner to work with school leaders to remove barriers to implementation that are context specific
