Newham Learning - Maths

The purpose of this group is to support middle leaders and teachers of maths. It aims to help them develop their knowledge and understanding of:

• The curriculum

• Subject-specific leadership

• Subject knowledge

• Subject-specific pedagogy

We are working closely with London North East Maths Hub to help you to access the best professional learning and networking opportunities for maths.

WhatWorked are currently supporting an EdTech company to evaluate the impact of their programmes. This opportunity is for schools using the KS3 White Rose maths scheme.

The school will receive access to Eedi Plus for the two classes who are involved in the 3 – 4 week evaluation for the remainder of the academic year for free, providing access to qualified teachers from 9am – 8pm 7 days a week.

For details of how to sign up, please see the flyer here

Our maths offer is provided in conjunction with the East London Maths Hub, who are funded by the Department for Education to provide free Maths CPDL. Some of the offer also comes with participation grants to support attendance.

There is also the Teaching for Mastery Programme, the flagship programme from the Maths Hubs.

A link for further information is here: https://lneastmathshub.org.uk/mastery/primary-mastery/

There is also a really interesting transition project called 5-8 Continuity Project for primary and secondary teachers to work together to facilitate a coherent transition between KS2 and KS3. This is aimed at teachers and subject leaders to help develop and it may be particularly suitable for linked ‘families’ of schools: primary, secondary.
