A number of Primary and Infant schools across the country have engaged in the Maths Hub Mastering Number programme, including many from within our Yorkshire and the Humber Maths Hub region.

We were delighted to receive this email from Jane Nagy, deputy head teacher at St Mary's Catholic Primary Academy following their Ofsted inspection in February. 

As the Maths Hub network enters its second decade, it will begin with an Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) funded independent evaluation of two Network Collaborative Projects (NCPs).

The TIMSS 2023 report confirms England's continued strength in mathematics, with pupils in Year 5 and Year 9 performing significantly above the international average.

The Ofsted report Coordinating mathematical success: the mathematics subject report was published in July 2023. It contains recommendations for primary and secondary schools to develop effective maths teaching and curriculum. But at 50 pages, it’s possible not everyone who teaches maths has yet had time to read it all and take in the findings, discussions and suggestions.

The Maths Hubs Programme has reached a significant milestone, celebrating ten years of supporting schools and colleges across England. Coinciding with this achievement, the NCETM has published a 30-page report highlighting the work of Maths Hubs in 2023/24. During the year, the 40 Maths Hubs collectively engaged with nearly 60% of all state schools in England.

Here at the Yorkshire and the Humber Maths Hub, we have been marking 10 years of Local Leaders of Maths Education (LLMEs) working with schools across our region to help improve maths outcomes for students. 

What is the definition of oracy, why is it important and how can it be transformative in the maths classroom?
