Promote Your School’s Director, Lisa Savage, attended and spoke at the NSPCC Number Day launch. She was joined by Alison Fish, Promote Your School’s Sales Team Manager.
The launch marked the day on which schools could begin to sign up for next year’s Number Day, which will take place on Friday 5 February 2027. On Number Day, thousands of schools and nurseries across the UK will raise funds and take part in maths-related activities.
Schools can take part in a number of ways, and NSPCC offers loads of free resources to help get you started. On Number Day, some schools also encourage pupils to ‘Dress Up For Digits‘. Pupils can dress up as any number and spend the day playing games and having fun with maths!
We were delighted to attend the NSPCC Number Day Launch. Here’s a sneak peek into what happened at the launch. And some information about Number Day, including how to take part.
In 2026 over 5,000 unique schools and nurseries signed up to take part in Number Day. Together, they raised over £270,000 to help keep children safe. The proceeds raised through Number Day help to fund NSPCC’s services, like Childline and Speak Out, Stay Safe. These vital services rely on fundraising to continue.
In 2027, NSPCC will celebrate the 27th anniversary of Number Day.
To mark this incredible milestone, and to officially open 2027 registrations, NSPCC School Fundraising hosted the launch event at MathsWorld in London. It was an inspiring day of talks from Number Day representatives and external ambassadors like Emmanuel Asuquo, Dr Josh Smalley and Johnny Ball. In particular, Johnny Ball’s musical maths rendition kept everyone entertained! There were also children from Grange Primary School, a local school in London, at the event.
Promote Your School’s Director, Lisa Savage, spoke at the event. She shared her thoughts on Number Day and how valuable it is for making maths fun and accessible to all children. Lisa also explained why Promote Your School is so proud to partner with NSPCC, and how we have supported Number Day over the past few years.
Maths World proved the perfect location for the launch event. It’s London’s first maths discovery centre, located beneath a railway arch on London’s vibrant South Bank. Maths World invites visitors of all ages, from 1 to 100, to explore the beauty, creativity, and power of mathematics.
It is also a great destination for families, groups and school classes. The centre offers interactive, hands-on exhibits. For example, you can step inside a giant soap bubble or a kaleidoscope, laser-cut different shapes and crack secret codes. Or, you can even play pool on an elliptical table and solve fascinating puzzles.
The centre encourages people to discover the hidden maths in everyday life, which is a very similar ethos to Number Day. We enjoyed exploring the centre whilst attending the NSPCC Number Day Launch.

For some children, maths can feel intimidating. They can reach a point where they decide, “I’m just not good at maths,” and that feeling can stay with them. Sometimes, if they haven’t quite grasped one stage of learning, everything that follows becomes harder, and their confidence starts to slip.
That’s why Number Day is such a brilliant initiative. It gives schools an opportunity to make maths fun, bring it to life and help children see that numbers aren’t just something in a textbook. They’re relevant to their interests, their everyday experiences and their futures.
Every school that signs up to take part in Number Day will enter a random prize draw. After the event, on Friday 5 February 2027, NSPCC will pick a winner at random.
That school will win a bespoke Maths Wall Art project. The Wall Art project will bring Maths to life on the walls of the winning school. We will work directly with the winning school to fulfil the prize. This includes guiding them through their design brief – helping them choose a suitable location and design style. And we will print and install the Wall Art as part of the prize too.

We’re delighted to offer a bespoke Maths Wall Art prize for Number Day, and this is our fourth year supporting the initiative. What makes the prize special is that it isn’t an off-the-shelf design. We will work with the winning school to develop something that reflects its pupils, its environment and what it wants to achieve.
We can take the idea of numbers and maths and bring it to life in a way that feels relevant to that particular school, creating something that catches children’s attention, supports their learning and gives them another reason to engage with maths.
Promote Your School will offer one Maths Wall Art project, including design, print and installation to a school setting located in the UK.
We’ll visit your school to understand your goals, explain our process and provide you with a no-obligation quote.
