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.
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.
Targeted Support in Mathematics is funded by the Maths Hubs Programme and is free to state-funded schools who are suitable for referral and able to make the required commitment.
