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.
