Trust Partnerships 

Working in partnership with your local Maths Hub can provide the framework for a trust’s strategy for maths professional and school development.

Across England, approximately 35% of primary schools and 60% of secondary schools are now part of a trust, and many have already worked in partnership with their local Maths Hub. Most trust schools regularly participate in a Maths Hub Work Group as a routine, ongoing part of their approach to professional and school development in maths.

In the early days of the Maths Hubs Programme, most schools participated as a result of individual decisions by headteachers and principals. Now, as the number and size of trusts nationally has grown, many trust leaders have begun to work in partnership with one or more of the 40 Maths Hubs in England. This enables trusts to achieve their vision for maths teaching through collaboration with other local system leaders and subject experts.

Maths Hubs and trusts

Any trust or school working with their local Maths Hub benefits from:

  • Fully-funded professional development for teachers of maths, teaching assistants, and leaders of maths

  • Evidence-based CPD which draws on contemporary research into teacher pedagogy and subject knowledge

  • The opportunity to retain staff and grow leaders through the provision of high-quality, bespoke, subject-specific professional development

  • A long-term partnership designed to meet the needs of the trust or school
