Primary Round-up - January 2026

In January's Primary Round-up, we look at mixed-age mastery in Early Years and KS1. Also this month:

• Spotlight on LLMEs - Local leader of maths education (LLME) Linda Lavagna-Slater shares what it’s like to be an LLME — and how you can become one.
• STEM Ambassador programme - in a new podcast episode, we speak to retired engineer Garry Packer and Michael Anderson from STEM UK about how this programme is inspiring pupils through real-world maths.
• Maths CPD programmes open for 2026/27 - take the next step in your teaching career and develop your expertise in leading CPD and school-wide development
• NSPCC Number Day 2026 - access free learning resources and join thousands of schools raising money for the NSPCC on Friday 6 February.
