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.

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.

Primary Teaching for Mastery Development Work Groups

We are now accepting bookings for our Primary Teaching for Mastery Development Work Group. Be part of the continuing programme to develop teaching for mastery in maths in primary schools.

Two teachers from each participating school join a Work Group, consisting of six or seven local primary schools. Each Work Group is led by a trained Primary Mastery Specialist. Work Groups meet regularly to plan, observe and discuss teaching for mastery. In between meetings, teachers explore mastery approaches in their own classrooms and across their school.

Specialist Knowledge for Teaching Mathematics (SKTM) – starting May 2023

With the pressures of timetabling and the need to deploy staff flexibly, many secondary schools find that they have teachers teaching outside their specialism. This can mean teachers from a range of subject backgrounds teaching in maths departments, tackling complex topics, and having to plan lessons with unfamiliar content.

If you want to give teachers in your maths department the opportunity to hone their subject knowledge and classroom practice, this programme is ideal.
