Targeted Support
Targeted Support in Mathematics
Get bespoke support for your school to develop its maths curriculum and teaching
Enhanced Support
For those schools already in the Standard Offer Teaching for Mastery Programmes needing 2-3 days of additional support in order to meet the Work Group’s intended outcomes. These schools would be highlighted as not being able to meet the intended outcomes without support. The amount of support for each school could vary based on a judgement of relative need.
Intensive Support
What is involved?
This is bespoke support for schools in need of additional capacity to enable them to benefit from standard and enhanced provision at a later stage. The intensive provision would be targeted at schools identified through a formal process based on agreed criteria (e.g. attainment level) and referral (e.g. PEIA requests).
An intensive school could be a school that has never engaged with an NCETM Maths Hub or, due to circumstances, has had to pause engagement and needs support to get back on track.
Schools taking part will benefit from the intensive, sustained support of a Maths Hub Intensive Support Partner (ISP), who will collaborate to build capacity within the school which fosters a supportive culture and good foundations for implementing improvements in the teaching and learning of maths. This is achieved through the ISP and the school working in partnership to explore, plan, deliver and sustain the implementation of a specific, bespoke improvement plan, based on a chosen focus within the school’s priorities. Fully funded support provides school participants with release time to develop and deliver the improvement work designed to fit their context.
Who can take part?
Schools will be offered intensive support if they do not currently have the capacity to benefit from standard Teaching for Mastery Programmes (with or without enhanced support). They need to be committed to making long-term improvements in maths and to work closely with their local Maths Hub over a number of years.
