It’s been a pleasure to undertake a strategic review of secondary maths across the local authority, commisioned by the BCP council. Looking forward to working on next steps as we ensure that all schools provide a good maths education and secure best possible outcomes for pupils.
Very pleased to support Jo and Laura from The Gryphon through our SKTM programme. They will make terrific maths teachers! @ncetm@JurassicMaths@DrJoDenton@TrubridgeNicola

@edsouthall@MEIMaths Thank you, Ed. To what extent would you say the curriculum is designed to build conceptual understanding as well as procedural fluency?
@JackWorthNFER Thanks Jack. We’re already facing unprecedented capacity issues here in the south. Having to come up with some innovative albeit temporary solutions for a number of our schools.
@vicgoddard@jillberry102@GuardianEdu Catastrophic is the correct terminology. We’ve gone beyond crisis. If our maths teachers leave now we have very few options left. We can train non-specialists but now these teachers are desperately needed in their own subject areas.
@jillberry102@GuardianEdu We need to make the profession more attractive. And quickly. Schools I’m working with are often in crisis mode already due to capacity issues.
@JennyHillParker Connect learning between topics
Teach for conceptual understanding as well as procedural fluency
Develop articulacy
Use appropriate representations and models
Use trusted, well-respected resources
We are running 2 SKL | Higher GCSE topics through mathematical thinking courses, starting:
Tues 26 Sept & Sat 7 Oct
We aim to support teachers in developing their students’ mathematical thinking skills, particularly as they introduce higher-tier topics.

@Samfr It’s really tricky down here in the south with maths capacity. Pulling out all the stops to support schools particularly in disadvantaged areas.
Our ever popular summer start cohort for non-specialists maths teachers is open for applications. Please click on the link below to sign up for our SKTM programme:
