Interested in our
Mastery Readiness Work Group?
|
|
|
The Mastery Readiness programme is for schools who have a commitment to developing a teaching for mastery approach long term, but who currently need additional support for improving maths teaching, learning and leadership.
What is involved?
Each Work Group will be led by one of the Maths Hub’s Mastery Readiness Leads and involve up to eight primary schools. During the year, they will work closely together to develop subject and pedagogical knowledge as well as supporting teaching, learning and leadership of maths across the school by looking at the Five Big Ideas of Mastery Readiness to lay the foundations to developing teaching for mastery in an effective and sustainable manner.
Who can take part?
There are many reasons why a school may choose to apply for Mastery Readiness but it must include at least one of the following:
- The school has been judged at RI or Inadequate for at least their most recent Ofsted inspection
- There is poor progress or attainment data for maths across the school which cannot be solely attributed to the results of Covid disruption
- It has been identified by their Local Authority or supporting NLE as being suitable for the programme
- The school serves an area of low social mobility
- It has been identified that there is a need for additional support for leadership of maths
- There has been high turnover of staff, meaning that the implementation of sustained change has been difficult but there is now a more stable situation where progress can be made.

Interested in our
Secondary Teaching for Mastery Development Work Group?
|
|
|
Teaching for mastery means students gaining a deep and lasting understanding of mathematical procedures and concepts. The Secondary Teaching for Mastery Development Work Group is a funded professional development programme which involves individual teachers and their departments working overtime to embed mastery into maths learning.
What are the benefits?
Participating in the Work Group will provide the following benefits to participant schools:
- The Work Groups provide an opportunity for your school to engage in high-quality, sustained, collaborative professional development and participate in an important national project.
- Teachers will collaborate with colleagues from local schools, and get support and guidance from a Local Leader of Maths Education.
- Participants also take away ideas to help students become more confident mathematicians, ready to tackle GCSEs and A levels, and begin to introduce and embed teaching for mastery.
Who can take part?
Any state-funded secondary school with an interest in developing mathematics teaching for mastery can apply. The school should identify two teachers (Mastery Advocates) who will be best placed to innovate in their own classroom and to lead developmental work across the department.
There is no fee or charge to participating schools to take part in this Work Group. The Maths Hub meets the cost of running the Work Group. Each department will receive £2000 to enable the Mastery Advocates to work with the Secondary Mastery Specialist and thus enable them to work within their own department.
