We are part of the wider network of over 40 Maths Hubs that work together in the national Maths Hub Programme, which exists to support all schools in England.
The National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics (NCETM) plays the key role of coordinating and supporting the work of all the Maths Hubs across the network.
Through a collaborative approach, we aim to develop and spread excellent practice for the benefit of all teachers, pupils and students. We offer a range of professional development opportunities: Work Groups are whole school development pathways, Programmes, like SKTMs, offer support and professional development for individual teachers and then there are Communities where participants collaborate formally and informally to deepen their understanding of maths culture, curriculum pedagogy and professional development. The Hub also runs conferences, exchanges, network meetings and other opportunities for professional collaboration. In association with the NCETM we also provide central training to support expert classroom teachers to become local leaders of maths education (LLME) for their local Maths Hub. We cover the geographical area of Cornwall and parts of West Devon, including Plymouth, South Hams, Torbay and Teignbridge.
Among our key strategic partners are One Cornwall Teaching School, SWIFT, Marjon and Plymouth Universities and the Advanced Maths Support Programme (AMSP).

CODE Maths Hub Lead
We believe every student should experience the joy and power of mathematics. By connecting educators and using the NCETM’s 5 Big Ideas of Teaching for Mastery—Mathematical Thinking, Representation and Structure, Coherence, Fluency, and Variation—we promote a deeper understanding of key mathematical concepts, improving student engagement and achievement.
Whether you want to deepen subject knowledge, improve teaching practices, or connect with like-minded educators, CODE Maths Hub is here to help. We offer CPD, collaborative projects, and specialist training to make a real difference in your classroom and school. These opportunities are all fully funded by the Department for Education.
Our goal is to create a community of growth and shared expertise, working together to transform maths education across Cornwall and West Devon, and ensure every young person leaves education with a strong mathematical foundation for life.
