Continuing Professional Development

Matrix Maths Hub

The Maths Hubs programme is Department for Education funded and led by the NCETM (National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics). We bring together mathematics education professionals in a collaborative national network of 40 Hubs each locally led by an outstanding school or college, to develop and spread excellent practice, for the benefit of all pupils and students.

The Matrix Maths Hub supports schools and colleges to achieve excellence in mathematics education from Early Years to post-16. We are based in Bishop’s Stortford at The Hertfordshire and Essex High School.

Saffron Teaching School Hub areas covered:

  • The Matrix Maths Hub covers Harlow and the whole of Hertfordshire.
  • Braintree, Chelmsford, Epping Forest and Uttlesford are covered by the Venn Essex Maths Hub.

Securing Foundations at Year 7 - register now for 2025-26

Applications for our Securing Foundations at Year 7 Work Group will be opening soon - you can register your interest now! 

This centrally and locally run project aims to provide professional development and resources for secondary school maths teachers, so they are better equipped with KS1 and KS2 maths curriculum knowledge and can support students with gaps in their understanding. It is for both experienced and novice teachers working with those Year 7 students who have not met age-related expectations in maths, particularly students whose attainment is in the bottom 20-30% of the national cohort at the end of KS2.
