It is excellent because it can be start being used with the very youngest children in the nursery class. 4.

Staff can easily track the pupils in their class using the website. 7. Other schools have visited our school at this early stage and have been impressed by its impact.
Alun Stephens found Winning With Numbers:
- Significantly reduces attainment gap“When analysing the the procedural Welsh national tests in July it was clearly evident that of the 4 academic years using winning with numbers, three years were above national average and one year was within expected range. Many to most pupils had improved on their standardised scores.”
- Moderately improves teaching efficiency“Once the staff had used the programme for about a month they were able to confidently and easily access all the support available for teaching. The videos supported staff in how to teacher specific aspects of number and the method necessary.”
- Moderately improves teacher knowledge“Less experienced teachers and newer teaching assistants gained significant knowledge in how to teach fluency in number. More experienced staff also thought more carefully in how to teach number and is improving their pedagogy.”
- Significantly improves attainment“Of the classes that have used winning with numbers, many to most pupils had improved on their standardised scores.”
- Significantly builds student knowledge“Staff have also noted the pupils' greater fluency of number when applying numeracy across the curriculum.”

WWN really is 'precision pedagogy'. Without it I wouldn't be nearly as effective and my students wouldn't be making the amazing progress that they have.
Connor found Winning With Numbers:
- Significantly reduces attainment gap“My 11-year-old twins have been attending NumberSchool for the past 6 months, and the progress they have made is truly remarkable. Their school reports have been fantastic, and their teachers have noticed a significant improvement. Connor, their teacher at Num6er 5chool, uses Winning With Numbers. He has a teaching style that is both inspiring and engaging. They absolutely love his lessons and the fun games they get to play. Connor is not only understanding but also has a wonderful sense of humor. My son is dyslexic and also has other learning needs. The progression at Num6er 5chool is so precise that he found his next steps were always easy. Everything that he needed was in place. Right at the beginning, in about 15 minutes, Connor found out what facts were in his long term memory. This was done without the need to write anything or use a timer - things that would be very stressful for my son. He then put a schedule in place to help my son memorise the most important facts. This has been a real game changer. My son can now do lots of challenging calculations, all in his head. This is because, as Connor would say, “It’s all about getting the sequence of learning correct - and Winning With Numbers has perfected it!. Get this right and learning about numbers becomes easy for every child.” My son is proof that Num6er 5chool & Winning With Numbers really has cracked the code! My daughter has always enjoyed Maths and been really good at it - or so we thought - until she started using WWN at Num6er 5chool. Her mental Maths is now on a completely different level. Num6er 5chool quickly identified and plugged all the gaps she had in her fact recall then showed her the most efficient brain friendly ways to think. It’s got to the stage were her school teacher is telling her to stop doing calculations in her head and to write them down - even though she always gets them right!! One of the best things about NumberSchool is that it's all online, which makes it incredibly convenient and hassle-free. We have received great support throughout the entire journey. Thank you, Number 5chool, for making learning such a positive and enjoyable experience for my children. Parent - Clair, Ireland March 2024.”
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency“WWN has really helped to keep my prep time to a minimum. I watch the videos with my students and then they go on to the bank of questions provided.”
- Significantly improves teacher knowledge“WWN has taken my teacher knowledge to the next level. The sequencing and mini-steps via the goals are awesome. As a result all my students find their next steps incredibly easy - because WWN has made sure that all the prior knowledge that they need is already in place.”
- Significantly improves attainment“All my students complete 2 steps per week - this is equivalent to about 2 weeks number learning.”
- Significantly builds student knowledge“How do you know? is my fav question. Due to the precision of WWN and their videos my students have a much deeper understanding of all the concepts covered and are very able to articulate what they are learning.”

We all love Winning With Numbers because it is highly engaging for staff and pupils. It is an excellent programme for developing pupils mental arithmetic skills. There is a clear progression from our Nursery to Year 4 and there is a strong support for teachers in the delivery of the programme.
Debbie Lewis found Winning With Numbers:

Parents are highly engaged in WWN and are supporting pupils at home by having access to the platform at home which is ensuring our pupils are making rapid progress.”

Teachers can team teach with Ben and so work load is reduced and they are enabled to teach consistently good lessons. This in turn ensures pupils make rapid progress and learning gaps are filled quickly.”
- Significantly improves teacher knowledge“The video on each Win for teachers and parents really supports our teachers in understanding each Win. This means all teachers are confident in the teaching of each individual Win and how it connects with prior essential skills and knowledge.”
