Summer Maths Programme Launched to Prevent Summer Learning Loss and Build Confidence

Mathnasium of Altrincham has now launched a special Summer Programme designed to help children retain and strengthen maths skills over the long summer break through personalised learning and confidence-building support.

Mathnasium is a leader in maths-only education with learning centres across the UK.

Josh Hammond, Centre Director, Mathnasium of Altrincham confirmed: “Summer should be a time for children to relax and enjoy themselves, but it can also be a period where important maths skills begin to fade. Students can lose a significant amount of progress over the summer, with research showing that ‘summer slide’ affects maths far more than reading, and children may lose up to 39–42% of the maths skills they gained during the school year.

“Summer is a critical time for learning retention for both primary and secondary school students, and it also provides a valuable opportunity to get ahead in preparation for GCSE studies.

“Our Summer Programme is designed to keep children engaged, motivated and progressing in a positive environment, helping to prevent summer learning loss while building confidence and understanding. By September, students return to school feeling more prepared, more confident and ready for the year ahead.”

Mathnasium’s Summer Programme is suitable for children who need support catching up, keeping up or getting ahead in maths. Each child follows a personalised learning plan, allowing them to work on their individual goals at a pace that suits them.

The programme is built around the Mathnasium Method™, a proven approach that focuses on developing deep understanding rather than memorisation, helping students strengthen core skills and build long-term confidence in maths.

The Summer Programme includes a comprehensive assessment and personalised learning plan tailored to each child’s needs and summer goals, along with engaging maths activities designed to make learning interactive, enjoyable and rewarding. Activities will also include painting, drawing, jewellery-making, sensory play, sand art, competitions and more. Face-to-face maths instruction is focused on building understanding, strengthening key skills and increasing confidence, with flexible scheduling to fit around family holidays and summer plans.

The flexible programme sessions start from now and run until the end of September.
