Website Terms

Last updated: 18 June 2026

These Website Terms explain how Primary Maths Craft content and free resources may be used. They are intended to protect the professional work, writing, resources and intellectual property shared on this website, while making clear the responsibilities of users who access, download, copy or adapt any materials.

1. About Primary Maths Craft

Primary Maths Craft is a professional primary mathematics blog run independently by Phil Hackett.

The website shares classroom-focused writing, reflections, ideas, templates and free resources for teachers, school leaders and others interested in primary mathematics education.

The website does not currently sell paid products, subscriptions or services. Resources currently made available through the website are provided free for professional and educational use, subject to these terms.

2. Independent views and no affiliation

Primary Maths Craft is an independent professional blog. The views, reflections, resources and opinions shared on this website are my own and are not written on behalf of, or officially connected with, any current or former employer, school, trust, educational establishment, professional body, training provider, government department, curriculum organisation or other third-party organisation.

Any references to schools, teaching practice, curriculum materials, research, organisations or professional experiences are shared for general educational discussion and reflection. They should not be taken as official statements, policies, endorsements or positions of any organisation with which I am, or have been, associated.

Unless clearly stated otherwise, mention of any external organisation, scheme, publication, platform, resource or professional body does not imply partnership, sponsorship, approval, endorsement or formal affiliation.

3. Agreement before downloading or using free resources

Before downloading, copying or using any free Primary Maths Craft resource, you must read and agree to these Website Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Cookie Policy and any relevant resource disclaimer or notice shown on the website.

If you do not agree with these terms, you should not download, copy, adapt or use Primary Maths Craft resources.

Where a download form includes a checkbox confirming that you have read and agree to these terms, ticking that box confirms your agreement.

4. Intellectual property and ownership

Unless otherwise stated, all writing, articles, explanations, page content, resource text, templates, spreadsheets, slides, documents, graphics, branding, layout, design choices, downloadable files and other materials on Primary Maths Craft are owned by Phil Hackett / Primary Maths Craft or are used with permission.

Copyright and other intellectual property rights remain with Phil Hackett / Primary Maths Craft.

Making a resource available for free does not transfer ownership, copyright or intellectual property rights to the user.

7. Sharing with colleagues

You may recommend Primary Maths Craft resources to colleagues by sharing the original website link.

Where possible, colleagues should access or download the resource directly from Primary Maths Craft so that they can see the latest version, relevant notices and terms.

You should not upload Primary Maths Craft resources to public file-sharing platforms, shared drives outside your own school context, commercial repositories or websites where they can be accessed independently of Primary Maths Craft.

8. Educational content and professional judgement

Primary Maths Craft content is provided for general professional reflection, educational discussion, classroom preparation and teacher development.

It is not formal legal, safeguarding, inspection, financial, curriculum, medical, psychological or school improvement advice.

Teachers, schools and other users remain responsible for exercising their own professional judgement before using any idea, strategy, resource, template or recommendation.

Users should check that any material is suitable for their own pupils, school policies, curriculum, safeguarding expectations, assessment systems, data protection requirements and local context.

9. Accuracy, mistakes and resource checking

I aim to make Primary Maths Craft content accurate, useful and professionally grounded. However, errors, omissions, formatting issues, broken links, technical problems or outdated information may occur.

Users are responsible for checking all resources, questions, answers, formulas, examples, calculations, links, instructions, spreadsheet outputs and generated materials before using them with pupils, staff, parents or schools.

Primary Maths Craft does not guarantee that any article, resource, file, template, spreadsheet, slide deck, diagnostic tool, answer, output or recommendation will be error-free, complete, current, uninterrupted, compatible with every system, or suitable for every educational setting.

If you identify a possible mistake, you are welcome to contact me so that it can be reviewed.

10. No guarantee of outcomes

Primary Maths Craft resources are intended to support teaching, reflection, planning and professional decision-making.

They do not guarantee any particular pupil progress, assessment result, intervention outcome, inspection judgement, school improvement outcome, professional judgement, financial result, reputation gain or other outcome.

Any decisions made using Primary Maths Craft content or resources are made by the user, teacher, school or organisation using their own professional judgement.

11. School, pupil and assessment data

Some free resources may involve teachers or schools entering pupil names, class lists, assessment scores, marks, comments or other school information into their own copy of a document, spreadsheet, form, slide deck or template.

Any pupil, class, staff, school or assessment data entered into a user’s own copy of a resource remains the responsibility of the user, school or organisation using that resource.

Primary Maths Craft does not have access to school-owned files unless a user deliberately shares them.

Users and schools are responsible for ensuring that they have any required permission, authority or lawful basis to enter, store, process or share data using any digital resource.

Schools and users should follow their own data protection, safeguarding, acceptable use, information security, retention and IT policies.

12. Third-party tools, platforms and links

Primary Maths Craft may link to or use third-party tools and platforms, including but not limited to WordPress, Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Slides, Google Drive, email platforms, embedded forms, analytics tools, video platforms, plugins or other external services.

Third-party platforms have their own terms, privacy policies, security arrangements and availability. Primary Maths Craft is not responsible for the content, accuracy, performance, availability, privacy practices, data handling, security, changes, errors or failures of third-party websites, tools or platforms.

Users are responsible for checking whether any third-party platform is suitable for their own school, organisation and data protection requirements.

13. Availability and changes to resources

Primary Maths Craft may update, amend, replace, remove, restrict or withdraw any article, resource, download, template, tool, page, link or feature at any time and without notice.

The website may occasionally be unavailable because of maintenance, technical issues, plugin problems, hosting issues, security work or circumstances outside my control.

I am not responsible for any loss, disruption or inconvenience caused by website downtime, changes, removed resources, broken links, file incompatibility or unavailable third-party services.

14. Limitation of liability

Primary Maths Craft content and resources are provided free of charge and in good faith for general professional and educational use.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Phil Hackett / Primary Maths Craft will not be liable for any loss, damage, cost, claim or expense arising from or connected with:

• use of, or reliance on, any website content, article, explanation, idea, resource, template, spreadsheet, slide deck, output, answer or recommendation;

• unsuitable use of a resource in a particular classroom, school, curriculum, assessment or intervention context;

• indirect, consequential, special or incidental losses, including loss of time, loss of opportunity, loss of goodwill, loss of reputation, business interruption or loss of anticipated benefit.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot legally be excluded.
