By fostering a culture of collaboration and support between teachers of maths, both within their own schools and schools in the local area, the Maths Hub programme has been paving the way as an outstanding demonstration of how high-quality professional development can improve pupil outcomes and teacher satisfaction. Now, more than ever, schools need support and guidance to get children's education back on track following unprecedented disruption because of the Coronavirus pandemic. As a Lead School, College or Trust running a Maths Hub you will have the opportunity to be part of this effort as a national network of schools which are transforming mathematics education and changing the lives of children across England. Each Maths Hub is open to working with any school or college, from Reception through to post-16, within the broad geographical area that it covers. The hubs draw on the expertise of local leaders of mathematics education across their area and the support of strategic partners including Teaching School Hubs, universities, maths experts and employers. The new Lead School will be expected to continue and build upon the successful work of the previous lead. The brand of Great North Maths Hub and ShaW Maths Hub are well established in their local area, it is expected that the Maths Hub brand will remain the same to provide continuity for the schools being supported by the hub. If the Maths Hub Programme continues into Academic Year 2024/25 and beyond the new Lead School will continue to retain the role of Maths Hub Lead School until they either (a) become ineligible or (b) a change in the Department's policy for Maths Hubs. When the new Lead Schools are appointed in January, there will be a two-term hand over during spring and summer 2023 where the new Lead Schools will receive information on all the responsibilities and part take in meetings up until they solely become the new accountable Lead School in September 2023.
