Strategic Goal
​
Maths Hubs support secondary schools to:

• establish a culture of high expectations for all students (including disadvantaged students and students with SEND) in which they develop deep knowledge, understanding and confidence in mathematics, succeed in GCSE mathematics, and are ready to continue studying mathematics post-16.
• introduce, embed, and sustain teaching for mastery approaches with fidelity and consistency, making effective use of high-quality resources.
• ensure their mathematics teaching is knowledge-rich and fulfils the aims of the National Curriculum: every school’s teaching containing a coherent and detailed sequence of essential content to support pupils’ progress, building on prior knowledge and understanding, over time.
• ensure all teachers of mathematics have the specialist knowledge and skills required to teach mathematics effectively.
• work with teachers and leaders of mathematics to establish professional cultures and practices that support ongoing development.
• work in a collaborative and sustained way with other schools and local leaders of mathematics education to overcome challenges and support ongoing improvement.

What's the cost?

These development opportunities are fully funded by Central Maths Hub so is free to ​participating (state funded) schools within the local authorities of Birmingham, Dudley and Sandwell.

Secondary Schools
Achieving and maintaining excellence in teaching mathematics requires focused effort over time. Change is effected and progress is built through development of leadership for strong classroom practice. The Maths Hubs Programme offers a range of school and professional development opportunities to support teachers, subject and senior leaders according to need, contributing to schools’ long-term success in the teaching and learning of mathematics. Network Collaborative Projects (NCPs) are offered nationally and led locally, with opportunities for enhanced and intensive support to tailor the offer to schools’ particular needs.
