Targeted Support in Mathematics (Intensive)

Who can take part?

Schools may be referred to their local Maths Hub for intensive support that do not currently have the capacity to engage with the standard Teaching for Mastery Programme.

To ensure a positive impact on their 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 Programme in future years. If you think this is your school, or you know a school which may benefit, download this flyer to share details of what's available.

What is involved?

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 maths teaching and learning. Together, the ISP and school will explore, plan, deliver and sustain a tailored improvement plan.

Funded support is available to provide release time for staff involved in developing and delivering the improvement work, ensuring it fits the school’s context.

By working in partnership, school leaders will:

• construct a mutually agreed short- and medium-term implementation plan for maths
• be supported to implement and sustain change in a focused area linked to an initial bespoke implementation cycle
• feel confident to identify and implement priorities in maths in their school by using an effective cycle of implementation
• continue to work with their local Maths Hub through engaging with a Teaching for Mastery Programme (with or without enhanced support).

What is the cost?

Targeted Support in Mathematics (Intensive) is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme, so is free to schools who are suitable for referral and able to make the required commitment.
