Hackney’s long standing commitment to mastering maths and teaching is encompassed by the dedicated work of the Maths Hub Programme. At the London North East Maths Hub, they aim to ensure that all pupils, teachers and leaders have access to support, training and innovation that will improve the enjoyment and achievement of mathematics from early years to post-16.
All projects are funded by the Maths Hub programme so are free to all schools.
Early years and primary
Teaching for Mastery
Maths Hubs support schools at every stage of introducing and embedding a teaching for mastery approach. Mastering maths means pupils acquiring a deep long term, secure and adaptable understanding of the subject.
Schools joining the programme must have 2 possible entry points:
- Mastery Readiness
- Teaching for Mastery Development
Join Readiness for an extra year of support that enhances your programme. Benefit from five tailored school visits, ensuring individualised assistance. Limited slots are available due to the intensity of the programme. Readiness leads seamlessly to Development next year. While Readiness doesn't offer a participation grant, it's fully funded and accessible.
Your commitment:
- Two named teachers (including the maths lead) freed for 5 workshops and 5 school visits
- Headteacher availability during school visits.
