Take a look at the Post-16 GCSE and FSQ Mastery Specialist programmes on our Teaching for Mastery pages.

• Post-16 GCSE and FSQ Mastery Specialist programme 2026/27

• Post-16 GCSE/FSQ Mastery Specialist Programme (Embedding the Impact)

These communities are designed for an existing Level 3 subject leader. Participants will be heads or deputy heads of department or KS5 leaders who will represent their institution/department.

This opportunity is for teachers of GCSE Maths, and for those teaching GCSE Maths resit and/or Functional Skills Maths. Participants may be based in secondary schools, UTCs, FE colleges, Sixth Form colleges, schools with post-16 provision, or other post-16 settings.

This Work Group is for A level Maths institutions and involves established teachers who are looking to deepen their pedagogical understanding around a locally selected theme. Participants must be teaching a current A level Maths group.

This Work Group is for institutions where Core Maths is already established, and will involve teachers of Core Maths who are in at least their second year of teaching the qualification. These may be teachers in post-16 settings whose main subject is maths, or whose main subject is not maths.

This programme supports teachers in developing specialist knowledge for teaching Core Maths and increases their confidence in teaching the course. The programme forms part of the overall Advanced Mathematics Support Programme (AMSP) and Maths Hubs Core Maths professional development offer.
