Who can take part?

Schools that do not currently have the capacity to benefit from the standard Teaching for Mastery Programme may be referred to, or can apply for, Intensive support through their local Maths Hub.

To ensure a positive impact on teaching and learning, schools need to be committed to making long-term improvements in maths, and to work closely with their local Maths Hub over a number of years. This includes a commitment to joining a Teaching for Mastery Work Group in future years. 

What is involved?

Schools taking part will receive bespoke support from a Maths Hub Intensive Support Partner (ISP). The ISP will work closely with school leaders to build capacity, create a supportive culture, and lay strong foundations for improving the teaching and learning of maths. Together, the ISP and the school will explore, plan, deliver and sustain a tailored improvement plan.

Funded support is available to provide release time for staff to develop and deliver improvement work, tailored to the school’s context. 

What will you learn?

• School leaders will be supported to implement and sustain change in a focused area of maths teaching 
• School leaders will confidently assess and review the culture, systems and practices supporting maths in their school 
• Your school will go on to develop a sustained relationship with your local Maths Hub 

What is the cost?

The work groups are fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme so are free to participating schools/colleges.
