Secondary Teaching for Mastery Work Groups
Take a look at the Secondary Teaching for Mastery Work Groups on our Teaching for Mastery pages.
Securing Foundations at Year 7 Work Group
This project aims to provide professional development and resources for secondary maths teachers, so they are better equipped with KS1 and KS2 maths curriculum domain-specific knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge. It will give them the necessary expertise to support students with gaps in understanding content from previous Key Stages.
Participants in this project will gain access to high-quality resources designed by experts in the pedagogy and expectations of maths at both KS2 and KS3.

Cross Phase – Supporting Students to Achieve a L2 Qualification in Mathematics Work Group
This is for teachers whose students will study up to Level 2 maths across secondary and post-16. Teachers of Years 10 and 11, and of GCSE Maths resit and/or Functional Skills Maths, will develop ways to support students who need to study maths beyond age 16 to achieve a L2 qualification. Work Groups will focus on developing transferable teaching techniques aligned to teaching for mastery. Participants will attend three full-day workshops and complete practice-based tasks between sessions.

Years 5 – 8 Continuity Work Group
Work Groups in this project focus on curriculum and pedagogical continuity over Years 5 to 8. Participants will collaborate with colleagues from across KS2 and KS3, working on mathematical tasks together and reflecting on the resulting activity and learning. Sessions will take place in KS2 and KS3 settings, offering the chance to see tasks in the context of a classroom. School-based activities between meetings encourage participants to make use of the resources with their own pupils.

Higher Level Maths Achievement Work Group
These Work Groups are designed to help schools increase the number of students – particularly those from disadvantaged background – achieving higher grades in GCSE Mathematics and progressing to study maths at Level 3. Participants will work with local colleagues, supported by their Maths Hub and the Advanced Mathematics Support Programme (AMSP), to explore strategies and teaching approaches that promote high attainment and motivation. Sessions will include collaborative planning and reflection, with opportunities to adapt and trial high-impact tasks in the classroom to deepen understanding of challenging areas of the secondary maths curriculum.

Secondary Subject Leadership
Local Work Groups will follow a cycle of workshops followed by school-based tasks. Participants will support each other through the sharing of leadership strategies and practices. A vibrant professional learning community will be created through peer-to-peer discussions and expert input. Participants will also create an action plan for their department.
Much of the work will involve each individual department working on elements of their action plan and developing collaborative ways of working which support their professional development. As well as exploring the needs of their own department, participants will benefit from the expertise and experiences of the group of departments represented.
