Who can take part?

This Work Group is for teachers from target schools that have a high proportion of disadvantaged students.

What is involved?

 This Work Group will explore a variety of student tasks, to support high attainment in secondary mathematics.Participants will explore effective pedagogical approaches which enable all students to access and deeply understand the content.

Participants will be expected, where appropriate, to work with colleagues in their own department.

Participants’ schools must commit to:

• releasing them to attend all Work Group sessions

• allowing them to develop their practice in their classroom and share this with departmental colleagues

• allowing their students to participate in additional AMSP activities to support higher attainment in maths

Participants must commit to:

• attending all Work Group sessions and engaging with and completing school-based tasks between Work Group sessions.

What are the intended outcomes?

Student outcomes

Students, in target schools, will:

  • develop a deep understanding of the most demanding secondary maths topics
  • be more motivated to achieve high grades in GCSE Mathematics
  • be more likely to progress to study mathematics at Level 3.

Practice development

Participants will:

  • embed a culture of high expectations
  • adapt their practice to embed focus tasks into their classrooms
  • raise students’ awareness of opportunities for progression to mathematics at Level 3.

Professional learning

Participants will:

  • understand what outstanding school culture and practice looks like to foster high maths attainment for students
  • develop knowledge and pedagogical skills which enable equitable access to the most demanding secondary maths topics for all students.

What is the cost?

The Higher-level maths Work Group is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme so is free to participating schools.
