What instigated your school's initial involvement with the Maths Hub?

The school signed up in 2018, however engagement levels varied, meaning impact wasn't always clear. In 2021, I applied for and was appointed as Maths Lead for both KS1 and KS2 in my school. From that point, our school continued engaging with the programme's collaborative professional development model and embedding its approaches within our setting. I have ensured a strong relationship with the Hub as I know the power of professional development on staff and pupils.

What impact have you seen as a result of your engagement with the Hub?

Before 2020, our school was introduced to Teaching for Mastery, but this was implemented in a way that did not engage staff effectively, and as a result, there was considerable resistance.
