- • 20 places remaining
04 November 2025 - 04 November 202514:00 - 16:30Online£0.00Core Maths is a relatively new qualification and uptake is growing, so more Core Maths teaching capacity is needed. This programme seeks to address this need by helping teachers to develop the specialist knowledge to teach Core Maths effectively. The programme forms part of the overall AMSP and Maths Hubs Core Maths professional development offer.
By increasing Core Maths teaching capacity, the programme supports the national aim that it will become the norm for all students to study maths post-16.
Participants will be guided through six separate sessions with the following themes (which are common to all Core Maths specifications): Applying Fermi estimation and modelling; Exploring statistics; Making sense of finance; Using the pre-release materials; Developing critical analysis, and Creating contextualised activities.
Participants will take part in activities for each of these themes and review the pedagogical thinking behind the resources used. They will then identify an activity to use in their own classroom, and share and reflect on their experience with the group.
The programme gives inexperienced Core Maths teachers the opportunity to work collaboratively with their peers, guided by an expert Cohort Lead, to develop the specialist knowledge they need to teach Core Maths effectively.
Project Details:
This programme is for teachers who are in the first two years of teaching Core Maths and are teaching a Core Maths class during the academic year 2025/26.
Teachers need to be given time and support to try out ideas in their own classroom during the programme, and encouraged to reflect on developing and deepening their classroom practice.
Teachers are expected to attend all programme sessions (the equivalent of three days), explore and engage with the bespoke resources of the programme, and to implement practice-based activities in between sessions to enable reflection on the pedagogical approaches they are trialling.

22 April 2026 - 22 April 202614:00 - 17:00Online£0.00The Higher Level Maths Achievement Programme is a pilot programme for schools to help them support students to secure top grades at GCSE Maths and progress to study maths at Level 3. Compared with their peers, a far lower proportion of students from disadvantaged backgrounds who do well in maths at KS2 go on to secure grades 7-9 at GCSE. This new programme will provide teacher professional development and school support alongside student-facing activities designed to increase the proportion of students from disadvantaged backgrounds achieving high grades in GCSE Maths and progressing to Level 3 maths.
Across England, 400 secondary schools – on average 10 in each Maths Hub area – will be able to take part. Eligible schools will have a higher-than-average proportion of students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

30 April 2026 - 30 April 202609:30 - 16:00Online£0.00The project, developed and provided in partnership with the AMSP, will explore aspects of A level Maths, giving teachers knowledge of pedagogic theory that has a direct impact in the classroom. The content will be flexible to meet the needs of participants but will be linked to the Overarching Themes of the A level qualification: problem-solving and mathematical thinking: mathematical modelling and representations; proof, reasoning and mathematical communication.
You and your department will have a better understanding of how ideas behind teaching for mastery can be used in the classroom.
Who is this professional development suitable for?
Current teachers of A level Maths who are looking to deepen their own and their colleagues' pedagogical understanding and may already have completed other A level subject knowledge and pedagogy CPD -
Specialist Knowledge for Teaching Maths (Core Maths) 25/26

- • 20 places remaining
30 April 2026 - 30 April 202614:00 - 16:30Online£0.00Core Maths is a relatively new qualification and uptake is growing, so more Core Maths teaching capacity is needed. This programme seeks to address this need by helping teachers to develop the specialist knowledge to teach Core Maths effectively. The programme forms part of the overall AMSP and Maths Hubs Core Maths professional development offer.
By increasing Core Maths teaching capacity, the programme supports the national aim that it will become the norm for all students to study maths post-16.
Participants will be guided through six separate sessions with the following themes (which are common to all Core Maths specifications): Applying Fermi estimation and modelling; Exploring statistics; Making sense of finance; Using the pre-release materials; Developing critical analysis, and Creating contextualised activities.
Participants will take part in activities for each of these themes and review the pedagogical thinking behind the resources used. They will then identify an activity to use in their own classroom, and share and reflect on their experience with the group.
The programme gives inexperienced Core Maths teachers the opportunity to work collaboratively with their peers, guided by an expert Cohort Lead, to develop the specialist knowledge they need to teach Core Maths effectively.
Project Details:
This programme is for teachers who are in the first two years of teaching Core Maths and are teaching a Core Maths class during the academic year 2025/26.
Teachers need to be given time and support to try out ideas in their own classroom during the programme, and encouraged to reflect on developing and deepening their classroom practice.
Teachers are expected to attend all programme sessions (the equivalent of three days), explore and engage with the bespoke resources of the programme, and to implement practice-based activities in between sessions to enable reflection on the pedagogical approaches they are trialling.
