Build trust-wide coherence without ignoring the context of each school
LTD gives trusts a shared mathematical framework, lesson collection and professional language while allowing implementation to respond to each school’s pupils, staff and existing curriculum.
School leaders or maths leads from several schools working together on planning, pupil work or implementation.

A common foundation across schools
Trusts often need greater consistency in progression, representations, assessment and professional learning. A shared LTD collection can reduce duplicated planning and give leaders a clearer basis for cross-school discussion.
Consistency should focus on important principles and progression, not require every school to teach the same lesson on the same day.
What a trust partnership can include
- Access across agreed schools
- Central and school-level administration
- Reception to Year 6 planning
- Trust-wide curriculum mapping
- Shared lesson and assessment collection
- Leadership and maths-lead development
- Online and on-site CPD
- Implementation coaching
- Intervention support
- Review and reporting arrangements
Begin with a clear diagnostic
Before rollout, identify variation in current schemes, teacher confidence, pupil outcomes and use of representations. Decide which practices need trust-wide agreement and where schools should retain local flexibility.
Pilot before scaling
A pilot can test navigation, curriculum fit, staff response, assessment and support in a small group of schools. Agree success measures and a review date before expanding.
The pilot should include schools with different contexts so the trust learns what implementation support is genuinely required.
Develop internal leadership
Trust maths leads and school champions should understand the lesson model deeply enough to support colleagues. LTD can provide external expertise, but the long-term approach needs internal ownership.
Evidence and reporting
Agree which evidence matters before collecting data. Useful measures may include staff engagement, teacher confidence, curriculum consistency, diagnostic growth and selected pupil outcomes.
Avoid creating a compliance dashboard that rewards logging in rather than improving teaching.
A tailored commercial model
Trust pricing should take account of the number and size of schools, rollout stages, intervention, CPD and direct support. Provide one clear proposal rather than asking each school to buy separately unless that is the trust’s preference.
