Every Child Counts: supporting learners, transforming futures
Every Child Counts (ECC) transforms maths learning with a suite of proven intervention programmes that give struggling learners the support they need to succeed. Designed for learners at different stages of their journey, our programmes boost attainment, build confidence, and enhance life chances.
We equip teachers to deliver specialist support for learners who need the most help, and train teaching assistants to deliver fun, focused small-group sessions for those just below age-related expectations, ensuring every learner can make real progress and move forward with confidence.

Since 2008, teachers and teaching assistants have supported over 175,000 learners with the resources and training from Every Child Counts. The programme has been delivered in 6,750 schools with real outcomes for their learners. Behind every number, a young person has benefited from gaining confidence in achieving and skills for life.
In June 2025, ECC’s 1ˢᵗClass@Number 1 was recognised by the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) as a Promising Programme. This endorsement, backed by an independent evaluation from the National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER), highlights the powerful impact of our approach in schools. Being featured by the EEF is a proud milestone that reinforces our commitment to evidence-informed practice and to improving outcomes for every learner.

Stormont House, a special school for children with moderate learning difficulties, has successfully seen the benefit of using Every Child Counts maths intervention programmes for over ten years. Pupils typically make eleven months progress which represents approximately eight months more than expected. Importantly, class teachers report increased levels of confidence and independence in all lessons as well as maths. At Stormont, pupils often progress from Numbers Count to 1stClass@Number which consolidates and extends their knowledge and understanding and produces similar levels of progress.
